Grenache | Shiraz | Mourvèdre

The nose is a true reflection of the three varieties in this blend. Powerful aromas of summer berries, black cherry and inviting Christmas cake spice. The palate demonstrates all of the hallmarks of this world-famous blend. The 2019 Switch GSM is bursting with luscious red berry flavours that are enhanced by assertive, youthful tannins.

The Switch story revolves around the Hazel Tree. Twigs from the Hazel tree have been long thought to provide protection from evil as well as being used for water divination. A switch is a bundle of twigs signifying the collaboration of these three varietals into one.

Selected from multiple sites in the McLaren Vale region, with each displaying a unique site character that integrates well to form the final blend.

Vineyards:
Selected from two parcels of Grenache, four parcels of Shiraz and one parcel of Mourvèdre all from different microclimates in McLaren Vale. The two Grenache parcels come from two separate vineyards near Aldinga. The first provides brooding dark fruit with strong structural tannins, the second Grenache which is closer to Willunga produces more red fruit and finer tannins. The Shiraz parcels for this blend were selected for their brighter fruit profiles. The Mourvedre was selected from our own vineyard near McLaren Flat and shows spicy lift and structural tannins.

Winemaking:
Crushed to Open fermenters with hand plunging 3 times daily. Fermented on skins for 10 days then pressed directly to 10% new French oak and the balance to seasoned French oak. All parcels of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre are kept separate until the final blend.

Oak:
12 months in 10% new French Oak.

Cellaring: Drink from 2019 to 2029
