    Indulgent GSM

    Shiraz often steals the local limelight, but the insightful vignerons of the Barossa Valley know that the careful blending of this with Mataro and Grenache, results in something better than the sum of their parts.

    This GSM is vibrantly purple, betraying the presence of that deeply coloured, muscular Mataro building on the colour of the Grenache and Shiraz. On the bouquet, you can enjoy the sweet compote notes of blackcurrants and raspberries. It’s a complex, fascinating bouquet, which keeps you going back for more. GSM’s palate is precise and bright, with layered, elegant tannins supporting plush ripe dark berries and sweet red cherries. The fresh acidity which is retained in the wine adds an extra element of freshness and vibrancy lingering on the palate.

    Decadent Cabernet Sauvignon

    A classic smooth Cabernet Sauvignon from a quintessential Barossa Valley Cabernet vintage. It is approachable on opening, and its compelling aromas of juniper, black pepper and mint along with flavours of dark chocolate, plum and blackcurrant will have you coming back for more.

    It’s a delicious, softer, riper style of Cabernet, which makes it a perfect fit for those who also love a rounder fuller style of Shiraz.

    Located in the iconic sub region of Ebenezer this is from one of the Barossa Valley’s most prized grape growing patches of dirt. The ancient soils in this area restrict the vines growth and give us a wine high in intensity and concentration.
