GSM blends out of Australia are increasingly becoming synonymous with quality and consistency. Whilst commonly being predominantly Grenache, Turkey Flat has instead opted for a Shiraz dominant blend, making sure their wine still retains the generous plushness that makes people love Australian wine so much. All three grapes work in perfect harmony, however - the plushness from the Shiraz is perfectly married together with the slight spicy character and gentle fruits from the Grenache, and the savoury edge and structure provided by the Mourvedre (or as Australians call it, Mataro). A superbly well-rounded and balanced wine, offering serious bang for your buck and definitely not a wine to overlook.

Bright cherries, raspberry jam, chocolate, and hints of floral notes dance around the glass.

The bright red fruits are extremely explosive upfront, then calming to allow the savoury toasty characters to shine. There is a firm tannin grip, and somehow the wine manages to come across as bright and charming, yet brooding, serious and complex at the same time. This is a great wine that will cellar well for 5-8 years. Decant if you need to drink it, ideal with roasted red meats. Recommended serving temperature is 15-17 degrees.
