Nestled in the western side of the Barossa, in the scenic town of Seppeltsfield, is Triple Creek, a vineyard with rustic elegance, surrounded by the beauty of three natural creeks that meet at the property.
Triple Creek GSM 2022
$50.00
A classic GSM in style, this wine was initially intended to be used as a blending wine, but after barrel tastings, we couldn’t blend it away—it was just too good. It displays all the true characteristics of a traditional GSM with notes of red fruits, plums, and vanilla. Its medium body is vibrant with a velvety smooth yet structured finish.
Tasting note
Combining our two estate grown Shiraz and Mataro grapes with our neighbouring vineyards Grenache, this vibrant style of GSM has all the spiced plum, red berries and savoury flavours, well balanced by a soft and creamy backbone that delivers and exceptional finish.
Vineyard
Interwoven between three beautiful creeks sits our vineyard featuring vines over 27 years old over three classic grape varietals, Shiraz, Mataro, and GSM. It is this patch on the Western side of the Barossa where some of the best grapes in some of Australia’s most iconic wines were harvested, and Triple Creek Wines are no exception.
Vintage
Starting the 2022 vintage was the wettest winter on record since 1996. Spring was relatively cool and wet, and even experienced an extreme hailstorm that decimated some vineyards. We were lucky enough to avoid the worst of it. A mild summer and some rain in February allowed for ideal ripening conditions. The fruit from the 2022 vintage is elegant, structured with good colour, depth and length of flavour.
Winemaking
Our fruit is picked at the optimum time to allow it to fully ripen to get the perfect balance of alcohol, acid and fruit before it is hand picked and gently crushed. Open fermented and finished in both French and American Oak.
