Ulithorne Dona Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2020 from McLaren Vale is a richly fruited yet beautifully balanced Rhône‑style blend that puts fragrant Grenache centre stage, supported by plush Shiraz and savoury Mourvèdre. It continues the Dona line’s reputation for ripe, perfumed GSM with real complexity and polish.

From McLaren Vale sand‑over‑clay vineyards, this 2020 Dona GSM is almost equal parts Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, giving a deep red wine brimming with dark berry, plum, cherry and wild berry fruit. Expect layers of vanilla, olive and cedar, mocha and liquorice, plus savoury spice, dried thyme, creamy coffee and gentle earth, all carried on a rich, juicy, mid‑weight palate with fine savoury tannins and a lengthy, velvety finish.

Ulithorne Dona Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2020 is an excellent match for Mongolian lamb, slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, grilled sausages, hearty casseroles or Mediterranean‑style roast vegetables and charcuterie. With around 93–94 points from leading critics and a drinking window comfortably stretching through the decade, it is both a delicious, now‑drinking McLaren Vale GSM and a sound short‑ to medium‑term cellaring option.
