Jack’s GSM 2015

Open Top Fermented | Basket Pressed
56% Grenache | 26% Shiraz | 18% Mourvédre

2015 is the third release of the Jack’s GSM, with a blend of 56% Old Vine Grenache, 26% Shiraz and 18% Mourvédre.  Each variety adds its own characteristics to the blend – Grenache aromatic red fruits and spice, Shiraz body and weight while Mourvédre adds structure and complexity.

The grapes were de-stemmed and 60% berries crushed while 40% whole berries remained before being transferred into open top fermenters.  Fermentation was kept on the cooler side and hand plunged twice per day with a rack and return for 14 days.  After fermentation the wine was then drained to oak barrels and skins were hand shoveled out of the fermenters into the basket press.
