2022 Head Wines Red GSM, Barossa Valley

The all-conquering GSM blend from a variety of old-vine sites across the Barossa. Crimson and magenta flashes in the glass with pure satsuma plum, red and dark cherry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of fine spice, citrus blossom, gingerbread, charcuterie, amaro herbs and earth. There's a sprightly freshness lifting the fruit on the palate, a few more lumens let in, finishing sapid, fruit-pure and lipsmackingly moreish.
