About this product


Hand-picked from our 2015-planted Estate vineyard blocks of Grenache Noir (PDFS clone), Shiraz (Entav-Inra 470 clone) and Mourvèdre (BVOMI clone). Destemmed berries (with a small portion crushed) were tipped into a mix of concrete & oak open vats. After a period of ambient soak, natural fermentation initiated. Cuvaison lengths of 3 weeks on skins. Hand or foot-plunged a maximum of once per day.
Glen Garvald GSM takes its cue from the long-standing convention of creating a vinous symphony via blending multiple complementary grape varieties synonymous with France’s southern Rhône Valley. Built around Grenache Noir as the corner stone, other historically compatible building-block varieties are added to the mix based on their intrinsic strengths and contributions to the greater sum of the parts.
Our third release of this time-honoured assemblage of sympatico varieties dips its lid to and raps on the themes of harmony, balance, integration and combined strengths.
Nose: Blueberry, blood orange, clove, cinnamon quill, Earl Grey tea, chinotto, pink peppercorn, almond meal, flint, all-spice and baked earth.
Palate: Cherry ripe, barberries, sumac, pomegranate, rosewater and coconut dark chocolate. Fleshy, juicy, vibrant and spice-laden. Youthful fine tannins and resounding finish. Suitable for vegans
