Description

A refined and expressive McLaren Vale blend that showcases the harmony and character of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre. First crafted in 2013, the Postmaster GSM has become a beloved staple for its balance, elegance, and vibrant fruit profile. The 2021 release continues this legacy, offering a medium-bodied style that captures the essence of all three varieties while delivering Fox Creek’s signature finesse. Shows a bright, deep crimson colour with red-to-purple hues. Aromas lift with violets, raspberry, and strawberry, intertwined with subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and dried thyme. The palate is generous and engaging, filled with bright red fruits—raspberry and red cherry—layered with darker notes of plum and blueberry. An overlay of brown spice and dried herbs adds savoury depth, while a fine acid line and textural tannins provide structure, balance, and impressive length. A beautiful match for red meats or lighter game dishes. Its versatility and layered flavour profile also pair seamlessly with roasted vegetables, herb-infused dishes, or chargrilled plates. Crafted for enjoyment in its youth for its vibrancy and charm, yet capable of medium to long term cellaring as its texture and complexity continue to evolve.
