2017 Rosemount McLaren Vale GSM
First released in 1994, Rosemount GSM is a modern take on an old-world blend. Rich and spicy fruit flavours from old bush vine Grenache, balanced by the opulent power of Syrah are underpinned by the firm structure of Mourvedre.
A highly fragrant wine, bursting with a complex arrangement of red cherries, mulberries and lifted floral spicy notes. Rich red and black fruits on the palate are supported by supple velvet tannins resulting in a long and elegant finish.
Nose - A fragrant delight! Sweet red cherries, rich dark blackberries, dark plums and violets are underscored by white chocolate notes and nutmeg.
Palate - Sweet red cherries, raspberries and blackberries splash across the palate, before dark plums and milk chocolate start to reveal themselves. This luscious array of flavours is supported by supple velvet tannins that carry the wine towards a long and mouth-watering finish. Delicious!
