Description

This wine was first conceived back in 1999 whilst driving between the Barossa and Clare in the dead of night during the gruelling time of year that is vintage - it's become a staple of the Massena range ever since.

Jaysen Collins knows Barossa wines as well as any in the biz, and this, his Rhone inspired blend of Mataro, Grenache and Shiraz, is a prime example of his skills. These Rhone Valley inspired blends are kicking huge goals in the Barossa and this is pitch perfect in terms of style.

It's flush with bold flavours and plenty of fruit. It's a big glass of Barossa wine, and at a small price. Deliciously good value.

"Red/blue fruits, spice, bunchy nuance, dried citrus rind, clover blossom, panforte, dried meats, red licorice and earth… Lithe, filigreed and textural with great energy. A pretty, lighter-bodied GSM from the '22 vintage."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 points - "A blend of 42/30/28% shiraz/mataro/grenache; some whole bunch with the mataro (30%) and grenache (50%). This is such a pretty wine; it's lighter in body thanks to the '22 vintage conditions and it makes for fantastic drinking. Red/blue fruits, plenty of spice and bunchy nuance along with hints of dried citrus rind, clover blossom, panforte, dried meats, red licorice and earth. Lithe, filigreed and textural, there's a great energy to this wine. Good stuff. Drink by 2035." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Amazing GSM

    I'm a regular red drinker and I had this GSM at a hotel and enjoyed it so much that I tracked it down so I could start purchasing it. It's a great blend - very very highly recomended

Mataro from dry grown vines on the rose quartz soils of our Dadd’s Block is fermented with 30% whole cluster inclusion and blended with other parcels of Mataro from Light Pass and Greenock. We then add some old bush vine Grenache from the Barossa foothills where the sandy soils are shallow on calcrete and limestone. This complex Grenache fruit adds spiciness and intensity. 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. Daily pump overs early in ferment, followed by punching down as the ferment finished, ensure gentle and controlled extraction. Aged in tank and barrel, each parcel is selected to add as much interest as possible.
