The Viking Grand Barossa Valley GSM 2021 is a bold and expressive red blend that honours the rich traditions of the Barossa while delivering a modern, approachable style. Composed of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre, this wine showcases vibrant fruit, layered complexity, and smooth drinkability.
Deep purple in the glass, it opens with lifted aromas of blackberry, plum, and a burst of red cherry, accented by spice and white pepper. The palate is a harmonious blend of red fruits and savoury undertones, supported by smooth tannins and finishing with a soft, lingering mouthfeel. Winemaking includes open fermentation, daily pump-overs for rich extraction, and gentle basket pressing before the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and aging in both new and seasoned American oak barrels.
Rated 94 Points and awarded a Gold Medal by the Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, and 92 Points by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, this GSM blend delivers remarkable quality, with past Viking vintages having earned up to 94 Points from James Halliday and Robert Parker.
Enjoy the Viking Grand Barossa Valley GSM 2021 with chargrilled lamb, smoky eggplant, roast pork with fennel, or mature hard cheeses, allowing the wine’s spice and fruit intensity to shine alongside hearty, savoury dishes.

92 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"It's sweetly ripe and fragrant on the nose with ripe cherry, smoked game, olive and toasted almond notes. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity with smooth mouthfeel and elegant tannins, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2030. $45.00"
