The Holy Trinity is a traditional blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. The fruit for this wine is Barossa grown, predominantly handpicked from old, dry-grown vines which range from 35 to 90 years old. Even ripening periods allowed the grapes on the Barossa Valley floor to reach optimal ripeness during what was a very steady harvest in 2018. Heat and dryness toward the end of the harvest created excellent conditions for the late-ripening Grenache and Mourvèdre.
A portion of the wine was fermented in traditional old concrete fermenters with the cap held down by header boards – similar to the Southern Rhone technique – allowing heavy extraction of colour and tannin, particularly from the Grenache.

Near-equal parts grenach/shiraz/mourvèdre, with a tiny dash of cabernet. Matured 16 months in seasoned puncheons and hogsheads. This aptly named Barossa GSM has ascended magnificently in recent vintages, attaining new heights of spice, detail and intrigue. Exotic and fragrant, it presumably enjoys all the lift and jubilance of whole-bunch inclusion, stimulating crunchy red berry fruits and rhubarb. A long finish embodies poise and life, riding rails of firm, fine tannins and vibrant acid line. A rare GSM for the cellar.

Medium deep crimson. Fresh dark cherry dark plum roasted walnut aromas with touches of aniseed. Inky textured and minerally with dark cherry, plum, boysenberry fruits, fine slinky textures attractive mid-plate viscosity and underlying savoury complexity. Finishes chalky firm with persistent acidity.
