The blend for this absolutely delicious GSM is 51% Grenache, 30% Shiraz and 19% Mourvèdre. The team use 70% whole bunches and the fruit comes from a range of vineyards in the Barossa, including some dating back into the 1800s. Purple crimson in hue with a slight blue haze, the nose gives us notes of florals, spices, blueberries, cherries, raspberries and a range of red fruits. Beautifully crafted, there is such a seductive texture here, through to silky tannins. A wine of excellent length and balance, it will provide pleasure for at least the next decade. Love it. This is fantastic value.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
