A lovely new juicy red from Paarl.
Grenache 54%, Syrah 33%, Cinsault 8%, Mourvèdre 5% (not sure why its not GSCM?!)
Each variety was harvested separately at varying stages. The Grenache and Syrah were whole bunch fermented, while the Cinsault and Mourvèdre grapes were crushed and destemmed. Each batch was fermented separately in open top fermenters with natural yeast. A short post-fermentation maceration occurred before the wine was then pressed and transferred to 500-litre and 300-litre barrels for malolactic conversion. The wine spent a further eight months in barrel before final blending and bottling. A GSM with an enticing cascade of juicy brambly berries, cherry, plum and blackcurrant pastille fruits, complemented by delicate smoky notes. Easy drinking and very versatile food wise.
