Pertaringa Two Gentlemen's GSM 2024

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: 48% Grenache from the Stonycreek Vineyard, Whitings Rd, Blewitt Springs, 29% Shiraz from the Howlett Vineyard, Edwards Rd McLaren Vale and 23% Mourvèdre from the Wetlands Vineyard on California Rd, Tatachilla.

Soils: Stonycreek Vineyard is a sandy loam from the Holocene (11,700 years old), Howlett is gravel and sand over clay from the Pleistoecene (2.6 million yrs old) and the Wetlands Vineyard is  clay loam over Pirramimma Sandstone also from the Pleistocene. 

Harvest Date: 12 March (Grenache), 13 March (Shiraz), 20 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
