Product Description

Winery Background

Established in 1928, De Bortoli is a family-owned winery known for its diverse regional portfolio. The Rutherglen Estates range celebrates the region’s warm climate, with wines like Burgoyne's Block GSM (Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre) showcasing Rhône varietals in a bold yet elegant style.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

Fruit for this GSM blend is sourced from Rutherglen’s Burgoyne's Block, where warm days and cool nights deliver ripe fruit with excellent balance. The 2022 vintage provided steady conditions, producing grapes with vibrant aromatics, deep colour, and fine tannins.

Winemaking Process

Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre were fermented separately in small batches to preserve varietal character. Gentle extraction and maturation in seasoned French oak barrels allowed the blend to develop savoury depth, soft tannins, and harmonious integration.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red. Aromas of red berries, plum, spice and subtle earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with juicy red fruit, hints of pepper and savoury complexity, supported by fine tannins and a smooth finish.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled meats, charcuterie or Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Its balance of fruit and spice also makes it versatile for hearty stews and game.

Story Behind the Wine

The Burgoyne's Block GSM 2022 is a classic Rhône-style blend interpreted through Rutherglen’s sunny climate, delivering a wine that is vibrant, layered and perfectly suited for both casual and refined dining.
