2019 Rocky Ox GSM

Rated 4.75 out of 5 based on 4 customer ratings
(4 customer reviews)

$35.00 – $336.00

The Rocky Ox is named for my daughter, an Earth Ox in Chinese Astrology. Unlike the animal, this wine is not furry, smelly, dirty, barnyardy (is that a word?!) or feral in any way. It is however dependable, complex and popular. Although she is almost a teenager…

Showing off the strengths of McLaren Vale.

Grenache Shiraz Mataro (GSM)

When most people think of McLaren Vale they think of Shiraz. However, many winemakers like myself think about Grenache. This is a very versatile variety. You can make anything from the lightest, most delicate Rosé to a full bodied red, or tawny port! Grenache typically does not have as much natural tannin as Shiraz or Cabernet from the same area but it makes up for it with flavour. Grenache has a very broad range of fruit aromas and flavours it can display, such as strawberry, raspberry, black and white pepper, violets and savoury meats just to scratch the surface. When blended with Shiraz and Mataro, the fullness, length and texture can be brought to new levels. If I had to choose one wine style from McLaren Vale to drink from now on, this would be it.
Tasting Notes:

An exciting and complex aroma, showing bright red berry fruits and bramble berries. Also cherries, raspberries, violets and a touch of licorice. The palate is equally enticing. Wonderfully bright berry fruits with spice and a pepper undertone complement the fine tannin texture and very well balanced acidity. Enjoy with Chinese sizzling steak, fat pork sausages, satay beef skewers, lamb yiros and supreme pizza. Drink now to 2028

Review by Angus Hughson – winepilot.com:

This is a no holds barred, heart on its sleeve McLaren Vale GSM that is bursting at the seams with ripe, rich fruit. There are layers of luscious jam, red currants and even tar aromas with fabulous generosity of fruit – it’s almost too much but manages to keep the balance just right. That rich and vibrant fruit continues onto the palate with a viscous, fleshy, low acid style supported by supple, open knit tannins and sweet coconut oak. It’s concentrated, long and no doubt a massive crowd pleaser for fans of big Aussie reds. 93 Points.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Generally, all wines are shipped via Australia Post parcel delivery. You will receive tracking information in an email so you can check its progress at any time. Depending on your location (metro/country etc.) your wine may take anywhere from a few days to more than a week. If something is taking longer than expected, please contact me (use the contact form here on the website) and I will do my best to follow it up. During the summer, I may delay delivery if we are expecting extremely hot weather. If this is the case, I will contact you first. There is no shipping cost calculator here as most of the time shipping is free. I have free shipping for minimum spend, and free shipping for members set up. If you choose to check out as a guest and only buy a couple of bottles, then a flat rate will apply.
