This is classic medium-full bodied Shiraz from the Rock of Wisdom duo, Pete and Sofi. Built for drinking now, this has the unfettered ‘lo-fi’ feeling of a Shiraz made without much tinkering. A vibrant juicy number with red and blue fruits jumping out the glass, soft gentle tannins and minimal time in old French oak delivers the fun times within. The fruit is sourced from a famous block on the edge Koonunga that is renowned for its red dirt over clay soils.

Crafted entirely from fruit grown on Elderton’s Greenock Vineyard, this blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro captures the natural synergy between these classic varieties, delivering a wine of both charm and character.
In the glass, the nose is lifted and inviting, with aromas of spiced plum, red berries, and a seductive hint of musk. On the palate, juicy raspberry fruit meets subtle savoury undertones, balanced by a creamy, textured mid-palate that adds softness and flow. The Grenache-driven core lends both power and finesse, while Shiraz and Mataro round out the structure with depth and spice.
Matured for seven months in older French puncheons, the oak influence is subtle, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine. The result is a bright, elegant, and textural wine with a long, polished finish and an effortless drinkability.
Perfect for enjoying now, the 2022 GSM also has the structure and balance to cellar gracefully for 5+ years.

2010 The Ironstone Pressings GSM, d’Arenberg
£4900Add to BasketThe Ironstone Pressings is named because most of McLaren Vale’s acclaimed and historic vineyards are impregnated with ancient, decomposed laterite granite known as ironstone. Its extraordinary rusty red-brown colour is derived from the iron oxides present in the stone. The larger pieces were cleared from the vineyards in the late 1880s and utilised in many of the buildings at d’Arenberg, most notably the old stables.
Unctuous blackberry and plum notes lay at the heart of this classic d’Arenberg example of a Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre (GSM). A spattering of exotic spices the likes of star anise, cardamom and nutmeg cling to the sweet, dark fruits and of course, it wouldn’t be a d’Arenberg wine without a rousing dose of earthy, gamey character. The palate is fleshy and juicy with an almost velvet-like texture. Abundantly warm and generous but sufficiently structured to suggest this wine can go the long hall.
While enjoyable in youth, this wine will reach its full potential with bottle age up to at least 20 years. The considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity and providing immense interest.
