About this product
McLaren Vale III Associates Backbone GSM is a wine term that donates a wine that is full-bodied, well-structured and balanced by a desirable level of acidity. All variety components are fermented separately and transferred to barrel. After 16 months in barrel, the base blend was assembled and returned to barrel for a further 12 months maturation in barrels. This wine speaks for itself in that each variety complements the others and pulls together a wine of great balance.

A 70/25/5% blend of grenache, shiraz and mourvedre; the components were fermented and matured separately, the final blend made after 16 months and further matured in 1-4yo oak. Good hue; a tangy wine, full of personality, with a brew of red and black berries, spice and earth.
