2023 Kalleske Clarry's GSM Organic, Barossa Valley

Clarry’s 2023 GSM is bright purple in colour. The aroma is equally bright with lifted notes of raspberry jubes, violets, red licorice, strawberries and cream together with garden herbs and a hint of clove spice. The medium-bodied palate is very juicy.  Vivid red fruits and black cherry throughout with even natural acid. Tannins are initially soft then reveal a lightly grippy structure perfectly balancing the juicy fruit. Seasoned barrel maturation gives a soft envelope to all components. It has a ravishing textural edge and is completed with a very lengthy finish.

Clarry’s is an approachable, fruit-driven, and opulent GSM that is best enjoyed now or over the next five years.

Clarry’s is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro with old vine Grenache from the 1940s and 1960s. The wine is fermented in open-top fermenters and basket pressed. To preserve the superb fresh fruit flavours of the wine, it is only aged in very old oak hogsheads and only for a limited time of 3-4 months. Clarry’s is soft and fruit-driven with flavours of raspberry, perfume, clove and spice. It is mouthwatering with a muscular structure and great length.
