2018 The Presshouse Vale Blend GSM - Dozen

­The Lloyd Brothers McLaren Vale Estate is home to the first commercial olive grove in McLaren Vale and was home to one of the first olive Presshouses, where a traditional mat olive press was located. ­The ‘Presshouse’ now sits at the heart of our winery, pressing grapes rather than olives and continuing to add to the rich history and unique tapestry of the Estate. ­The Presshouse Vale Blend is a classic GSM blend. ­e medium bodied Grenache leads the way with lovely juicy red and blue fruits, Shiraz adds some dark fruit and spice with Mourvèdre complementing the Grenache and Shiraz and helping to bring the blend together.

92 points Wine Orbit – Review by Sam Kim “Smooth and comforting, the wine shows dried cherry, roasted nut, tapenade and a hint of leather notes on the nose, followed by an attractively savoury palate that's juicy and lingering. Well composed with a harmonious finish. At its best: now to 2025.”
