A ripe and juicy blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, the GSM displays bright fruit – raspberry, black cherry, cranberry – with confectionery tinges and spicy hints. It hides its alcohol (14.5%ABV) really well, with the chewy tannins giving it interest and tactility (yes, that’s actually a word) in the mouth. Unexpectedly quaffable.
