GSM
Like all the Tellurian reds, it takes no prisoners, but the numbers (14.5% alcohol, 5.8g/l acidity, 3.65 pH) suggest the incisive fruit flavours will settle down well.
A juicy and savory red with crushed-berry and dried-cherry character.
Heathcote’s warm days, cool nights and ancient Cambrian soils provide optimal growing conditions for these Rhone Valley varieties. Medium-bodied, Tellurian GSM balances the softness and elegance of Grenache with structure and savoury characters of Shiraz and Mourvèdre.
Suitable for vegans.

Vineyard
All fruit sourced from our Tellurian vineyard, in Tranter Rd, Toolleen, growing in Cambrian soils formed over 500 million years. Deep, rich, decomposed greenstone rock with soil depths up to 2m allow roots to reach deep, while relatively low fertility controls vigour and yield.
Winemaking Notes
Each variety was harvested separately at optimal ripeness. Fermentation took place in small open top fermenters. Shiraz fermented on skins for 16 days, Grenache 12 days, and Mourvèdre 12 days. All ferments hand plunged or pumped over up to twice a day. Maturation in seasoned French oak barriques prior to filtration and bottling. Grenache 46%, Shiraz 36% and Mourvèdre 18%.
