St Hugo GSM 2025

This version of the famous GSM blend is very much Grenache driven, with that variety providing 70% of the mix. Shiraz accounts for 21% with the remaining 9% being Mourvèdre. The grapes come from three discrete blocks in the Barossa, which are between 60 and 80 years of age. A deep and dark maroon hue, there is power here. The nose reveals an array of aromas including black cherries, a touch of florals, chocolate, black fruits, bay leaves and orange rind, along with a flick of oak. A sleek and supple texture, there is decent balance and medium length, through to satiny, slightly powdery tannins. A wine for enjoying over the next six to ten years.
