Comes off a newly acquired vineyard in Brookhampton in the Geographe wine region of the state. These vines are now 30 years old and are starting to really produce some high-quality fruit. For a GSM blend, this nails it absolutely. From the captivating aromas of rose petal florals and bright strawberry, raspberry fruit aromas. It’s seamlessly integrated with supple, delicious fruit flavors, supported with some fine tannins and a very subtle, clever use of oak. Excellent stuff.
