Chaffey Bros Wines La Résistance Barossa GSM 2022 (6 Bottles)

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Varietal: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre

For 8 years we’ve been on a quest to make the perfect Barossa GSM… and in 2021 we reckon we’ve nailed it. It’s generous, juicy, balanced & refined… a wine fit for any occasion and worthy of some bold new threads.
Old Vine Grenache is the hero of our Barossa GSM. Elegant Syrah and spicy Mourvèdre add their signature definition and structure to this harmonious ensemble.

9 months Elevage in seasoned (3 – 8yr old) French oak Hogsheads support deep-fruited, dark cherry, strawberry and mineral laden (graphite/ferrous) palate with a lovely savoury lick of supple fine-grain tannin. Gentle refreshing acidity gives great line and drives the brooding and delicious fruit through to a lingering finish.

GSM = Barossa Hug. Enjoy with your best spag bol recipe, chargrilled/barbecued meats, or take your roast veggies to new heights.

History: A vinous rematch of the famous 1811 battle at Barrosa Ridge where Spain and France collided. La Résistance! takes up the fight for the traditional French varieties of the Barossa and pitches gnarly old vine Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre into defence against the invading foreign marauders.

Winemakers: Daniel Chaffey Hartwig + Huon Fechner + Theo Engela

94 points – Halliday’s 100 New Australian Wines 2024
” Team Chaffey Bros has been consistently releasing some pretty delicious wines of late. Wines of funk and crunch and a sense of effortless drinkability. Ditto this release, which is old-vine Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre matured in seasoned French oak for nine months. Dark cherry and blood plum dredged with spice, purple floral tones, ironstone and whiffs of berry flan. Bright, just the right amount of crunch and damn fine drinkin'” – Dave Brookes, Halliday

91pts “Pretty aromas of dried flowers, cherry, mulberry, sweet spice and earth. Flavours are firm, mouth-filling and meaty, with chalky tannins delivering structure and savouriness on the finish. There’s a decent core of blue and dark fruits and the acidity ensures freshness and life. A really smart wine and good value.” – Aaron Brasher (The Real Review)
