Five Geese Old Vine “Gander’s Blend” Grenache-Shiraz 2018 (12 Bottles) McLaren Vale

Five Geese Old Vine “Gander’s Blend” Grenache-Shiraz, crafted by Mike Farmilo in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, is a sophisticated homage to traditional Rhone-style blending. Grenache delivers fragrant red cherry, raspberry and spice florals, while Shiraz brings deep plum, black pepper and smoky cocoa. The palate is medium‑full bodied, showing ripe red and dark fruit layers, supple tannins and well-integrated acidity. A whisper of ironstone minerality adds freshness, and a subtle savoury seam brings length. Rich yet balanced, this wine offers both immediate appeal and cellaring potential through 2028. Ideal with roasted lamb, hearty stews or grilled meats.
