Barossa Valley Estate's 2023 Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre (GSM) is a vibrant expression of the Barossa Valley's rich winemaking heritage. This blend combines 40% Grenache, 35% Shiraz, and 25% Mourvèdre, each contributing to the wine's complexity and depth...In the glass, this GSM presents vibrant red berry fruits, fragrant spices, and delicate floral aromas, all carried on a smooth, silky texture. The wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, imparting a seamless, seductive texture and enticing further flavor development from the fruit. With an alcohol content of 13.9%, this contemporary wine is made to enjoy upon release, yet it will reward further cellaring.
Here's What We Thought:
A deep ruby color, this GSM bursts with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and a hint of violets. The palate is a silky-smooth crowd-pleaser full of dark berries, raspberry, plum and soft, velvety tannins that practically beg for a pairing of gourmet street tacos or wood-fired BBQ chicken pizza.
Fun Fact: While Grenache and Shiraz bring the fruit and spice, the winery notes that it's the tricky Mourvèdre grape that steps in like a secret weapon to give this blend its distinctive, underlying savory edge.🍷
