"It is intensely aromatic on the nose showing dark plum, raspberry coulis, cedar, mixed spice and floral characters, followed by a generously expressed palate that is juicy and smooth. The wine offers classic GSM elegance and flow, beautifully complemented by silky texture and a lingering velvety finish. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2018

The McGuigan Shortlist GSM 2016 is a full-bodied wine with a great deal of depth of fruit flavours including cherries and plums with subtle sweet spice notes and a savoury earthy edge. The finish is persistent and fine giving this wine great refinement. The wine produces delightful aromas of lifted notes of red berry fruits and hints of liquorice.
The Shortlist range is a selection of multi-award winning wines that represent the unique flavour and character of each varietal as well as the influence of the terroir on the wine. Each bottle is individualy numbered.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Southern end of the Barossa Valley, the Grenache and Mataro is sourced from aged vines on McGuigan’s low yielding vineyard. The fruit for this wine is fermented at cool temperatures for 10 days to ensure optimum fruit retention. Once fermentation is complete the wine is then put through the process of malo-lactic fermentation and transferred to a combination of old and new French And American Hoghead barrels to mature for 14 months prior to bottling. A balanced and approachable wine now or cellar for the next 5-10 years.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs perfectly with prosciutto wrapped veal with roasted baby root vegetables or Provincial Italian cuisine.
