With time spent making wine in France, it’s fair to say that Dean Hewitson doesn’t mind mixing things up in both the vineyard and the winery. The GSM is a case in point. It sits below what some might see as the typical Barossa GSM. It’s medium bodied, celebrates fruit and structure rather than high alcohols and oak, and brings a delightful immediacy to the blend while retaining a level of seriousness. Red licorice, maraschino cherry, plum, black fruit scents delight with clove, pepper and chocolate. Boasts good depth and concentration together with a tensile freshness. Fine, savoury tannins support a lovely long length. This is one of those wines that the more you look, the more you see.
