The GSM is estate grown fruit from the Moppa Hill and Greenock Vineyards. 62% Grenache soured from an old vine vineyard at Moppa, 23% Shiraz from Greenock along with 2% Shiraz from Moppa and 13% dry grown Mourvédre from Moppa. Each variety adds its own characteristics to the blend – Grenache aromatic red fruits and spice, Shiraz dark fruits and mid palate weight. Mourvédre completes the balance by adding structure and complexity to the finish. Final blend is 62% Grenache, 25% Shiraz and 13% Mourvedre.

The bouquet has a delicious mix of ripe plum and rhubarb, gently spiced with cinnamon and cloves. The palate is neither lean and bunchy, nor hot and confected, it’s defined by perfect balance and goose-down softness. Medium bodied as the palate develops the theme of plums and poached rhubarb dusted with cinnamon spice and a faint exotic camphor note. Tannins are veiled and silky; you only notice them if you go looking.
