Bright crimson to deep garnet with youthful purple hues. Vibrant and inviting, showing freshness and depth.
👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, with red berries, dark cherry and plum layered over sweet spice, subtle oak char and savoury charcuterie notes.

Medium to full-bodied and beautifully integrated. Juicy dark cherry and plum from the Shiraz combine with Grenache’s sweet spice, while Mataro adds savoury depth and herbal complexity. Rich yet balanced with excellent fruit flow.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and supple with fine tannins providing structure. The finish is long and savoury, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a gentle earthy edge.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Clare Valley GSM—fruit-driven yet savoury, combining richness with balance and drinkability. A well-crafted blend showing depth, harmony and regional character.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, grilled meats, pizza, pasta or Mediterranean dishes. Also excellent with charcuterie and hard cheeses.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A cracking GSM—juicy, spicy and beautifully balanced.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a versatile red that always delivers value and flavour.
