Expect wines with freshness, restraint and superb natural acidity. The cooler season favoured finesse over weight, with whites showing line, tension and clarity. The vintage also marked the first appearance of Grenache and Mourvèdre in the winery, destined for our 'Trilogía' Amphora GSM.
A versatile, unoaked red that pairs beautifully with everything from cold herbed chicken salads and sandwiches to Indian curries, pâté, and cornichons.
Serve at room temperature, ideally 15–18°C. For a different expression, this unoaked red can also be served slightly chilled.

Drinking beautifully now, with bright fruit and natural acidity giving the wine freshness and drive. This structure should support careful cellaring for 5–8 years, during which the wine will develop softer tannins, savoury spice and more earthy complexity.

Review
“A GSM from Beechworth? Say what? This is a plummy and rich blend of grenache, shiraz and monastrell. The wine sees no oak influence and is aged entirely in amphora, resulting in a wine of beautiful texture and fruit purity, with a vein of mineral tension. It's velvet over silk, a subtle friction to its chalky tannin, a mesh of ripe black fruits and dried fig, with a fired earth and bark-like presence existing beyond the surface, almost subterranean. It's raw yet knit together. Pure pleasure.”
