Murrumbateman GSM Grenache Shiraz Mourvédre 2022 from Hilltops in NSW is a medium‑bodied, earthy red that leans firmly savoury, built for the dinner table rather than just simple fruit‑bomb drinking.

In the glass, this 2022 GSM shows bright ripe red fruits – think red berries and cherry – wrapped in aromas of dried sage, with a palate that runs medium in weight and quite earthy, finishing with grippy pepper and spice thanks to its 40% Grenache, 35% Shiraz, 25% Mourvèdre blend and 8 months in oak. Those peppery, spicy tannins give it a nice, chewy edge and the structure to age for up to a decade.

Food‑wise, Murrumbateman GSM Grenache Shiraz Mourvédre 2022 is made for lamb or vegetable kebabs off the grill, roast veg trays, and any aged cheese, where its dried‑herb savouriness, red‑fruit core and grippy, pepper‑laced finish really shine. It’s vegan‑friendly, 14.2% alcohol and a great option if you want a characterful, medium‑bodied southern‑French‑style blend with a distinctly NSW twist.
