Mason Road GSM

Mason Road GSM

R145

Per Bottle

Like the rest of this range from Brookdale, the Mason Road GSM truly pushes the boundaries of convention, as well as the quality-to-price ratio. This blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre is medium bodied with a layered density of fruit. Liquorice root, fennel seed and ground spice precede blackberries and bramble leaf on the rich, inviting nose. Red and black berries unroll to a juicy pomegranate finish, dusted with a hint of cacao.

The epitome of old-world elegance meets new world bravery.

GSM

The 2023 season will be remembered for the dry and warmer winter, generally good growing conditions during the vegetative growth phase, good rain shortly before véraison which benefited quality, and a cool and wet ripening period which gave grapes a chance to ripen optimally at a slower rate.

Cooler conditions delayed the ripening of grapes and the harvest commenced at the usual time in early February. Excellent flavour, as well as colour profiles, were observed.

TASTING NOTES

A cheeky cascade of brambleberries wreathed in smoke, contrasted with the gloomy mist of brine, the smack of sea. A rush of sappy red fruit; the pop of cinsault cherries, the summer plums of syrah, the wildness of mourvèdre. The richer blue-blood of the grenache veins right through the palate. The core of blackcurrant pastilles with a chew of tannins juxtaposes the juice of the acid. Absolutely running away with fruit and drinkability, this exuberance is trimmed in spice and a deftly dry finish.

WINEMAKING

Each variety was harvested separately at varying stages. Grenache and Syrah were whole-bunch fermented while Cinsault and Mourvèdre were crushed and destemmed. Each batch was fermented separately in open top fermenters with wild/natural yeast. A short post fermentation maceration occurred before the wine was then pressed and transferred to 500 litre and 300 lite barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine spent a further 8 months in barrel before final blending and bottling.
