Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Vibrant ruby with a crimson edge — fresh, youthful and inviting.

Aroma:
Lifted and expressive with:

• raspberry and red cherry
• plum and wild berries
• spice, dried herbs and pepper
• hints of earth and savoury nuance

Fragrant, lively and full of energy.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, juicy and beautifully balanced — a modern McLaren Vale GSM.
Expect layers of:

• ripe red and dark berries
• cherry, plum and spice
• savoury herbal notes
• fine, soft tannins
• bright acidity giving freshness and flow

Grenache brings lift and juiciness, Shiraz adds depth, and Mataro provides structure and savoury edge.

Finish:
Smooth, fresh and moreish with lingering fruit and spice.
