🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby red with vibrant crimson hues, rich and youthful in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Expressive and layered, showing ripe raspberry, cherry and plum with hints of blackberry, milk chocolate and spice. Subtle white pepper, dried herbs and earthy notes add savoury complexity and depth.

👅 Palate
Medium to full-bodied with generous flavours of raspberry, blackberry and plum flowing through the palate. Grenache brings juicy red fruit vibrancy, Shiraz adds richness and spice, while Mourvèdre contributes savoury structure and balance.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and rounded with soft cocoa-like tannins providing fine structure and drinkability. The finish is balanced, seamless and persistent with lingering dark fruits, pepper spice and a savoury herbal edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Clare Valley GSM blend showing freshness, generosity and excellent balance. Fruit-driven yet savoury, this is a polished modern Rhône-style red that combines richness with approachability and versatility.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, grilled meats, barbecue dishes, char siu pork, hearty pasta meals and Mediterranean cuisine. Also excellent with charcuterie and aged cheddar.

🍷 BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced GSM delivering vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and effortless drinkability. Rich enough for winter meals yet bright enough for relaxed entertaining, this is a superb Clare Valley blend that overdelivers for flavour and value.

Cheers
