Chaffey Bros La Résistance GSM 2024 from Chaffey Bros Wine Co in the Barossa bursts from the glass with a vibrant yet brooding energy that feels every bit the modern Rhône‑inspired Barossa red. This La Résistance GSM 2024 shows lifted dark cherry, plum and wild berries, wrapped in spice, dried herbs and a whisper of savoury complexity. Juicy red and black fruits ride on gentle, refreshing acidity, with smooth, fine‑grained tannins pulling everything into a long, moreish finish.

On the palate, the texture is supple and mid‑weight, with Grenache giving generosity, Syrah adding line and Mourvèdre chiming in with earthy spice. Think dark cherry, strawberry, hints of Turkish delight and aniseed in a Barossa frame that stays bright rather than heavy. It is the kind of GSM you will happily pour a second glass of before you have even finished the first.

From an Aussie table point of view, this Chaffey Bros La Résistance GSM is a dead‑set winner with grilled lamb chops, char‑grilled sausages, roast chook or a slow‑cooked beef ragù over pappardelle. It will also sing alongside wood‑fired pizza, mushroom risotto or a rich eggplant parmigiana, making it a brilliant Barossa red for casual dinners and weekend barbies alike.
