Pertaringa Two Gentlemen’s GSM 2024 by Bec Hardy Wines from McLaren Vale is a beautifully balanced blend of Grenache (48%), Shiraz (29%) and Mourvèdre (23%) that oozes elegance and drinkability. The nose is lifted with red berry, ripe plum, white pepper and black olive aromas along with a subtle hint of spice. The palate is vibrant, medium-bodied and well-defined – expect juicy red fruit, plum, a savoury thread and a layer of peppery spice, underpinned by soft, sleek tannins and just enough acidity for freshness.

This Pertaringa GSM 2024 has bright, clearly defined flavours that linger elegantly, making it a cracking match with roast lamb, Moroccan tagine, barbecue sausages or hard cheeses. Recent critic reviews peg it at 93 points, confirming its status as one of McLaren Vale’s best value, vegan-friendly reds for drinking now or cellaring up to 2031.
