Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre / Barossa / SouthAustralia
The strapper is a reliable, behind the scenes member of a horseracing team in thoroughbred parlance, a face you're unlikely to see in the limelight of spring carnival. The Strapper GSM is not the showy type either, rather it's a favourite tipple of the winemakers themselves, when they're not imbibing in a chilled riesling or icy ale. Yalumba are very excited about this old world style of Barossa, a third of Shiraz is sandwiched between the understatedly fragrant perfume of Grenache and the earthy, rustic tannins of Mataro, a well bred, strapping and savoury wine.

Grenache / Barossa Eden / SouthAustralia
Often described as one of Australia's unsung heroes, Grenache is naturally lighter in colour than other reds but delivers generous wines with an immense palate. Yalumba is extremely fortunate to have amongst its growers a resource of very old, gnarly bush vines which produce low yields of concentrated fruit. A range of terroir and climes across the different sites, sandy soils, loam and clay, contributes to a palate with greater uniqueness and complexity. A memorable tasting experience unlike any to be found in the more popular Australian styles of wine.
