Richard Hamilton Colton’s GSM 2019

Special Price $17.00 Regular Price

A delicious, crunchy and bright wine with expressive aromas of red and blue fruits and florals. Flavours include red fruits, fruitcake, cloves and there is enough acid and tannin to make this lively and mouth-watering. It’s lovely now and will improve for the next few years with cellaring.

This is lovely’ Next ‘… something full bodied but not too tannic’ – verdict, ‘this is fantastic! What’s the grape variety?’ Finally ‘…anything as long as it’s not grenache’ – verdict, ‘you arsehole! This is Grenache!’ Conclusion…
