Five Geese Wines “Gander’s Blend” Grenache Shiraz 2018, from Five Geese Wines in McLaren Vale, is a beautifully balanced expression of the region’s red varietals. The nose reveals ripe red and dark berries, subtle spice, and hints of earthy leather. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and vibrant acidity, the palate delivers layered cherry, plum, and raspberry flavors, underscored by a gentle minerality and a lingering, savory finish. Crafted with careful vineyard selection and traditional winemaking, this vintage has received praise for its elegance and approachability. A versatile blend, it pairs seamlessly with roasted meats, charcuterie, or hearty vegetarian fare.
