A careful selection of quality fruit shows why the Hewitson name is synonymous with these classic blends. Old vine Grenache, gnarly bush vine Mourvèdre and Shiraz from red loam over clay soils. A compact fruit profile with blackberry, ruby plums and macerated strawberries, a bouquet garni of herbs such as bay leaf, wild thyme and rosemary supporting the fruit. Then soft, supple, fine-grained tannins on the finish. A classic and always well-made GSM from the family of Hewitson. Drink with crumbed lamb cutlets and roasted vegetables.
