Winemaker’s notes:

This wine takes its cue from the idea of creating a vinous
symphony from blending multiple complementary grape
varieties synonymous with France’s southern Rhône Valley.
Largely based around Grenache Noir as the corner stone, other
building-block varieties have historically been added into the mix
based on their intrinsic qualities, regional suitability, and unique
innate personalities as a contribution to the greater sum of the
parts. This inaugural release of Glen Garvald GSM dips its lid to
and raps on this theme of simpatico, harmony, balance, and
integration of compatible grape varieties.
The nose shows the interplay of bright cherried fruits and dark
brooding spice and earth with aromas of mince pies, cardamon,
clove, sumac, Szechuan pepper, rosewater, and musk. The
palate presents as mouth-filling and weighty yet medium-
bodied. Flavours of dark chocolate, cherry ripe, barberries and
pomegranate molasses. It is fleshy, spicy, and long with an
abundance of youthful gravelly tannins setting it up for a
resounding echo of flavour on the finish.
This wine is suitable for vegans.
