'THE MOONLIGHT RUN' GMS (2020)

WINEMAKING

This complex Grenache fruit adds dark cherry fruit, spiciness and intensity as the building block of this blend.  

Mataro from dry grown vines on the rose quartz soils of Moppa is fermented with 30% whole cluster inclusion as the tannin backbone of this wine. Add to that some Greenock and Tanunda Shiraz and we have a wine that has a mouthful of everything superb about a Southern Rhone styled blend. Aged in seasoned French Oak Puncheons, each parcel is selected to add as much interest as possible.  

SENSORY 

Deep red and purple in colour with raspberry and dark cherry on the palate supported by firm tannins from whole bunch inclusion. Aromatics of dark red fruits with green peppercorn and Chinese five spice ensure a complex blend that is best with rich, slow cooked braises.  

FOOD PAIRING

A lush red sauce pasta or a beef ragu will help emulate the rich and elegant texture that you find in this iconic style of Barossa GMS. Root vegetables with these dishes will also help to give the earthy and natural flavours some assistance.
