2020 The Holy Trinity GSM, Grant Burge

2020 The Holy Trinity GSM, Grant Burge

Barossa Valley, Australia

Lifted violet and lavender bring an unexpectedly fragrant opening, followed by blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry. Ginger biscuit, mint, mocha and black spice gradually emerge, giving this deep, generous Barossa red a distinctive aromatic lift.

Medium to full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit held by silky, mouth-coating tannins. Bitter chocolate, tobacco and warming spice add savoury depth, while a fresh line keeps the richness controlled and carries everything into a long, clean finish. Powerful without becoming heavy, this is a polished, immediately appealing GSM with enough structure to age confidently.

For when: The table is full, and something slow-cooked is leaving the oven.

Pairs with: Roast duck, barbecue beef ribs, lamb shoulder, braised beef pasta or a richly spiced cauliflower steak.

The Holy Trinity is one of Grant Burge’s most established Barossa blends, bringing together three traditional southern Rhône varieties. Grenache supplies fragrance and juicy fruit, Shiraz adds depth and richness, while Mourvèdre contributes savoury spice and structure.

Grant Burge Wines was established in 1988 by fifth-generation Barossa winemaker Grant Burge, although the family’s connection with local vineyards reaches back to the nineteenth century. Meshach Burge began making wine in 1865, creating a legacy that successive generations developed across the Barossa Valley.

Today, the producer works with an extensive network of vineyards spanning the warmer Barossa floor and the cooler, higher sites of Eden Valley. Familiar vineyard names including Filsell, Chaff Mill, Corryton Park and Lily Farm appear throughout the range, giving the winemaking team access to mature vines and a broad selection of regional expressions.

Craig Stansborough joined Grant Burge in 1993 and has played a central role in shaping the house style. The wines are typically generous and fruit-driven, but careful site selection and well-judged tannin ensure that richness is supported by balance and structure. The Holy Trinity reflects this particularly well. Inspired by the traditional southern Rhône partnership of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, it brings together old-vine Barossa fruit in a wine that is fragrant, savoury and built to age.

The 2020 blend comprises 34% Grenache, 33% Shiraz and 33% Mourvèdre, sourced from old, dry-grown Barossa vines between 35 and 100 years old. Strong winds early in the season disrupted fruit set and produced exceptionally low yields, but improving conditions through spring and summer delivered fruit with impressive brightness and intensity.

A portion of the wine was fermented in concrete vessels using heading boards to keep the skins submerged and encourage gentle extraction. Maturation lasted 18 months in a combination of large-format oak and smaller casks, developing texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Bottled under screw cap at 14.5% ABV, with a suggested drinking window extending to 2032.
