Pertaringa Two Gentlemen's GSM 2023 | 6 Pack

Region: McLaren Vale 

Story: A testament to the co-founders of Pertaringa, Geoff Hardy, and Ian Leask - true gentlemen showing depth and generosity of character, just like our GSM.

Vineyard: 34% Grenache from the Blakeley Vineyard, Hahn Rd, Whites Valley, 33% 
Shiraz from Lower Tintara Vineyard on Kays Rd, Blewitt Springs and 33%
Mourvèdre from the Wetlands Vineyard on California Rd, Tatachilla.

Soils: Blakley Vineyard is grown on Ngaltina formation loam over Calcareous 
Brown Earth from the Pleistonecene (2.6 million yrs old), Lower Tintara Shiraz is
sandy loam Maslin Sands (34-56 million years) and the Wetlands Vineyard is clay 
loam over Pirramimma Sandstone

Harvest Date: 23 March (Grenache), 22 March (Shiraz), 23 March (Mourvèdre)

Winemaking: The three parcels were harvested and fermented separately in 
small open fermenters. Pressed directly to seasoned French oak hogsheads for 
10 months oak maturation before blending and bottling.

Nose: The Grenache provides fragrant notes of the nose of raspberry and cherry. 
The dark plum fruits of Shiraz adds depth and weight to the palate and the 
Mourvèdre gives the wine lovely perfume and spice lift.

Palate: These 3 varieties combine perfectly to create wine full of aromatics and 
complexity, while still being approachable and balanced. This medium bodied wine has beautiful fruit and spice notes and has a long, smooth finish.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2030
