Winemakers comments
The GSM contains the three most important old varieties of the Barossa, creating a magical blend where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Grenache components are sourced from up to nine different old bush-vine vineyards across the Barossa Valley and then matured in large old foudre. The Shiraz component is from the Eden Valley giving structure & dried herb aroma and the Mataro is sourced from a 60yo block in Nuriootpa on sandy soils for spice and tannin.

Food matching
Our GSM is perfectly versatile with any Mediterranean style cuisine and ready to match any strength of dish – even chocolate!

The all-conquering GSM blend from a variety of old-vine sites across the Barossa. Crimson and magenta flashes in the glass with pure satsuma plum, red and dark cherry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of fine spice, citrus blossom, gingerbread, charcuterie, amaro herbs and earth. There's a sprightly freshness lifting the fruit on the palate, a few more lumens let in, finishing sapid, fruit-pure and lipsmackingly moreish.
