"50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre. At the more elegant end of the spectrum, with a bright blueberry nose unveiling a distinguished palate of coffee liqueur and cassis" Decanter World Wine Awards, 2017

If you love the silky powerful reds from Southern France, you will love this GSM blend. This classic Rhône-style grenache-syrah-mourvedre blend has a deep, lustrous and inky colour. The nose offers crushed red fruit, wild herbs and a hint of smoke and mocha notes. The palate is rich and ripe, with a supple tannic structure and multi-layered texture.

1 x Lornano Chianti Colli Senesi 2017 (Italy)

AWARDED 96/100 POINTS: Luca Maroni, 2019

Made from 100% Sangiovese, this opens with exotic spice, French oak and black plum aromas that carry over to the taut, tight palate, along with prune and cherry notes.

1 x Coco Di Mama Organic Syrah 2018 (Italy)

AWARDED 88/100 POINTS & 4 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

"Youthfully charming and elegantly expressed, the wine shows dark plum, spiced cherry, thyme, anise and subtle game characters on the nose, leading to a juicy palate that is supple and silky. The wine is nicely structured by fine-grained tannins, finishing succulent and fruity. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

A very beguiling wine, smooth and balanced with expressive aromas of ripe red fruits and a hint of black pepper.

Alc: 13.5%
Certified Organic.
