This Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvedre (“GSM”) is inspired by the light-to-medium bodied reds of the south of France.

This classic blend combines the bold, clean “strawberries and cream” of early-picked Grenache with the bold pepper and spice of ripe Shiraz and the earthy depth and soft tannin of Mourvedre.

Vibrant crimson in colour, with a sweet nose and flavours of cherry and dark plum with rounded tannins to follow.

The wine was fermented on skins for 6-8 days at 22 degrees using traditional open top fermenters, hand punch-down and pump-over, and a yeast strain guaranteed not to produce sulfites.

After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured briefly in oak barrels and steel tanks prior to hand-bottling without fining, and with a light filtration.
