Harvested on flavour and beautiful expressions of varietal character. Shiraz from our Angels vineyard contributes to this blend. Angels planted in 2004 at Lyndoch, always produces wine that has intense colour and brightness of fruit which blends especially well with Grenache combined with Mataro for structure.
The versatility of the wine will pair with a week date night.

Colour: Rich mahogany with red undertones and hues.
Nose: Raspberry, cherry and rhubarb are accompanied by earthy, savoury notes. Complex and intriguing.
Palate: SGM marries distinctive flavours from all III varietals in the blend. The Shiraz giving upfront flavour of ripe plum, brown spice and mid palate weight. The Grenache giving more fragrant characters of raspberry, rose and pink peppercorn. Whilst the Mataro adds more savoury notes. This complex wine has intense flavour and structure, blending the sweetness of Shiraz with the fragrance and vibrancy of Grenache with the assertive tannins of Mataro offering a multifaceted and layered wine with persistence and length.
Making: This wine was fermented as varietal components at 22-28C in stainless steel tanks for 7-20 days on skins. Post primary fermentation the wine was matured for 15 months in seasoned American and French oak. Each component was carefully blended to ensure balance of the III varietals.
