2024 Suāvis GSM – McLaren Vale Grenache Shiraz Mataro

GSM is the classic red blend of France's southern Rhône. Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre (also called Mataro), now thoroughly at home in McLaren Vale. Suāvis is Latin for delightful, which is the mood we were after. Ours is medium-weight and supple, plush red fruit balanced by an earthy, dusty thread and fine-grained tannins from aged French oak. Look for plum and boysenberry, dark cherry and dried herbs, with a hint of black pepper, tobacco and clove.
