The Aromantiques GSM combine seductive cherry blossom, black plum and cinnamon in a masterful blend of McLaren Vale Grenache, Langhorne Creek Shiraz and Barossa Valley Mataro.

Cienna is a light wine with a vibrant ruby red colour and aromas of fresh red berry fruit and a hint of spice. With fruit sweetness on the palate it is rich and juicy with a refreshing spritzig finish. A sip of this wine is like tasting summer berries in a glass, while the mixture of natural acidity and fruit sweetness leaves a refreshing sensation on the palate. This wine is best enjoyed young and well chilled.

The wine is a blend of two grape varieties from three vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Both the Shiraz and Carignan are from the Calabria Family’s ‘William’ Vineyard in Nuriootpa. Dark purple with deep red core. Black currant aromas with hints of savoury spicy oak, liquorice, dark cherry, blood plums and lavender. A dense dark fruit core, the wine dances across the palate with dark chocolate flavours and savoury oak with ripe fine grained tannins, serious yet finely balance.

Enjoy with Confit Duck with seasonal vegetables.

On the nose we are struck by the typical dark fruits that drinkers of this wine have come to love and expect. Plums, mulberries, fresh soil and more developed peaty like notes are all apparent, with an underlying lick of exotic Indian spice. But, it is the irony, stone like character that gives away the vintage.
An abundance of fresh fruits on the palate marry well with the more complex characters of quince paste, cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise and earthy beetroot. Driving the core of the wine is that vintage trademark in the form of graphite and wet stone. This wine, while appearing open and generous already, will continue to age well thanks to the lively line of acidity and the abundance of fine gritty tannins.
