WINE DESCRIPTION
Blackbilly GSM is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre, sourced from select vineyards in South Australia's McLaren Vale region. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm days and cooling sea breezes, promotes optimal ripening and flavor development. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity, followed by maturation in a combination of French and American oak barrels, enhancing its structure and complexity. The resulting wine offers a balanced profile of ripe red and dark fruit flavors, with subtle spice and a smooth, integrated finish, suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.

Customer Review AI Summary
Blackbilly GSM is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with flavors of dark plum, cacao, and berry. While some find it balanced and seamless, others suggest decanting to appreciate its complexity. The wine's medium body and smooth finish are often highlighted, though a sharp tail is noted by some. It's seen as a good value, especially for festive occasions.
