"GSM is a signature blend from the Barossa, so it was only natural that our first Gudilly blend comes from our family’s homeland, and utilising three varieties that have been central to Barossa's winemaking since the 1840s." Simon Sorby Adams, winemaker Showcases the vibrant red fruit and spice characteristics of Grenache (75%), the structure and depth provided by Shiraz (15%), and the savory notes and tannins from Mataro (10%). The result is a wine with a unique character, offering dark berry fruits, spice, and a rich, flavorful finish. "A fine example of the famous Barossa blend." Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot Contemporary and drinkable, GUDILLY is sustainably made, and with the next generation in mind. Siblings Angus, Digby and Sally, each share their father Simon Sorby Adams’ passion for quality wines that can also make life fun. Their GUDILLY label – a mix up of their names – is a blend of classic and emerging varietal wines made from single vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Barossa, Clare Valley, Eden Valley and Riverland regions of South Australia.

Deep garnet in colour, displaying a mixed array of wildberry and red licorice aromas. The palate is fresh and vibrant, juicy and rounded. A very modern styled Barossa Shiraz, which is delicious drinking now that will mature well for the medium term. A variety of fermentation techniques were utilized, but all involved extended skin contact ranging from 15 to 25 days. A cold soak period of up to 6 days occurred before a natural warming to start the fermentation. Upon completion the ferments were pressed to a mix of new and seasoned oak hogsheads, for malolactic fermentation and maturation.

This Shiraz delivers rich notes of dark-bodied fruits along with aromatic red-berry concentrates. With hints of subtle oak and touches of spicy pepper notes to complete the palate allowing for instant enjoyment.
