Base Line Barossa Valley GSM 2023

This is a perfectly poised, medium-bodied, and stylish example of Barossa GSM. It’s loaded with spicy fruit, including blackberry and interesting blue fruit notes for complexity. Well balanced, with a fine tannin influence and subtle use of oak. It comes from many different sites around the Barossa and is a largely equal mix of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro, with small amounts of Cincault, Grenache and Graciona. Despite spending 20 months in French oak puncheons and hogsheads before bottling, it is anything but excessively oaky. A delightful example of a great value Barossa GSM, perfect for drinking in the short to medium term.
