2021 The Holy Trinity GSM, Grant Burge
Barossa Valley, Australia
Red cherry, raspberry and redcurrant lead the aromas, joined by blueberry, rose, bramble and a twist of aniseed. Dried herbs, dark spice and a faint earthy note sit beneath the fruit, giving this cooler-vintage Barossa red an especially fragrant and energetic personality.
Juicy and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity running through red and blue fruit. The tannins are fine, velvety and persistent, bringing structure without obscuring the wine’s freshness. This is The Holy Trinity at its most lifted and precise, delicious now but with the concentration and shape to develop further in bottle.
For when: Sunday lunch stretches comfortably into the evening.
Pairs with: Duck confit, herb-roasted lamb, roast chicken, spiced cauliflower steak or mushroom and lentil Wellington.
Grant Burge draws on five generations of Barossa history and an impressive collection of mature vineyard sites. The Holy Trinity is a longstanding regional benchmark for Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, and the 2021 captures the blend with unusual brightness, definition and finesse.
