Tellurian Heathcote GSM 2024 750ml

“Juicy Heathcote GSM with raspberry, dark cherry, spice and a fresh savoury finish.”

Tellurian Heathcote GSM 2024 brings together Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre in a bright, generous red that shows the fresher side of Heathcote.

Raspberry, dark cherry and ripe plum lead the way, with pepper, dried herbs and gentle spice adding savoury detail. The palate is juicy and supple, with Grenache bringing fragrance and red fruit, Shiraz adding depth and Mourvèdre giving the wine a little extra structure.

If you enjoy medium bodied reds with plenty of flavour but do not necessarily want the weight of a big Heathcote Shiraz. It is approachable, versatile and exactly the sort of red that tends to disappear rather quickly once dinner arrives.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Raspberry, red cherry and plum with dried herbs, pepper and gentle spice.

Palate: Juicy and medium bodied with bright red and dark fruit, savoury spice and supple tannins.

Halliday Wine Companion - 91 Points 

In a word, delish! This GSM is super juicy, fresh and berry-focused. Everything is in place for some enjoyable earlier drinking (should you wish) thanks to the ripe cherry, spice, dried herbs, chocolate, vanilla and ironstone earthiness that brings with it a natural balance. Upfront fruit appeal is strong and it's framed in equally friendly, supple tannins. Can take some further ageing, if you fancy. Jeni Port

Serving Suggestions

A natural match with lamb, grilled pork, barbecue chicken, sausages and wood fired pizza.

It also works beautifully with charcuterie, Mediterranean vegetables and tomato based pasta dishes. A slight chill on warmer days will bring out even more of the fresh red fruit.

About The Winery

Tellurian is based in Heathcote, one of Victoria's best known red wine regions, with its vineyards located on the northern side of the Mount Camel Range.

While Heathcote is particularly famous for Shiraz, varieties such as Grenache and Mourvèdre are also very well suited to the region's warm, dry conditions. Bringing the three together gives Tellurian a more fragrant and immediately approachable expression of the region.

It still tastes like Heathcote, just with the top button undone.

Cellaring Potential

The 2024 is made for relatively early drinking, when its juicy fruit and savoury freshness are at their brightest.

Enjoy now or cellar for around 5 to 7 years as the fruit softens and the herbal and spicy characters become more developed.
