2022 GSM

Deep garnet, almost crimson in colour with a spicy nose of cloves, leather and vanilla. A generous, broad palate of raspberry, confectionary and sour cherry finishing with silky tannins providing great length and mouth feel. The older sibling won a trophy at
the National Wine Show, and the 2022 GSM looks likely to raise the bar even higher – time will tell. Irresistible drinking right now, but wait if you want to.

2021 Vintage Notes

2022 VINTAGE NOTES Winter rainfall in 2021 was near average for the second year running so that again soils filled to saturation point. Indeed there were follow up rains in October and November which meant that we did not have to tap into the limited reserves in our dam until December. An extreme weather event on 28 October, including hail, caused damage across the Barossa and Eden Valley, but somehow we were largely spared. Frost events had less impact compared to previous years and late
flowering avoided the windier conditions leading to good fruit set. The summer months were mild with welcome rain in late January providing ideal ripening conditions. Humid and cool conditions leading into vintage promoted patches of botrytis infection in Block
8 Riesling – this was used to our advantage in making a sweet wine.

Overall, vintage was well paced starting on 9 March with Riesling from block 8 and finishing on 3 May with Cabernet Sauvignon from block 6. The 2022 vintage delivered well balanced yields and is a step up in quality from its highly credentialed predecessor.
