Marauding Vintners Barossa CSM 2009

Each part of this wine was fermented separately before being matured in seasoned oak together, to give a perfect marriage.
Consisting of 100% Barossa fruit.
Serve it up with game or hearty stews.

This is a twist on the classic 'GSM' blend perpetuated by zealous winemakers the world over, in homage to the great Rhône region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. GSM, the mainstays of the latter, becomes CSM - Cabernet, Syrah and Malbec - in a playful, yet brilliant wine that can only be described as an experiment gone right. The fact that all of the fruit is from the Barossa Valley didn't do this wine's chances of turning out to be great any harm at all!

"To me, a truly great wine is more about the sizzle than the sausage. I grew up in the Barossa, so wine's pretty much part of your culture from day one. Given our type of business, the styles of wine we make and my individual personality, all these combine to drive us down the 'winemaking way of one'. It's easy to manipulate, but when you leave things alone they just represent what they are - the variety, origin and working patterns, stored in a bottle." - Steve Grimley
