2022 GSM
31% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 44% Mourvèdre.
The nose of this GSM red blend is beautifully aromatic, offering a delightful combination of fruit, spice, and earthy notes. Ripe red berries, such as raspberries and red currants, dominate the forefront, showcasing the Grenache's fruity contribution. Intertwined with the fruit, there are captivating hints of black pepper, baking spices, and a touch of licorice, which can be attributed to the Syrah's influence. Subtle earthy undertones, reminiscent of leather and dried herbs, add a layer of complexity to the aroma profile.
With the first sip, the palate is greeted by a harmonious blend of flavors that highlight the individual characteristics of each grape variety. Ripe red fruits shine through, demonstrating the Grenache's vibrant and juicy nature. The Syrah brings depth and structure, contributing dark fruit flavors alongside a subtle peppery spice. The Mourvèdre adds a savory element further enhancing the wine's complexity. The wine's medium-bodied texture is supported by well-integrated tannins, providing a balanced and velvety mouthfeel.
This GSM pairs well with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews, and can also be enjoyed on its own. The blend is both approachable in its youthfulness and has the potential to age gracefully, allowing for further development and integration of flavors.
