Commonly referred to by the acronym GSM, which denotes the three grapes used in this popular blend. Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvedre are three prominent grapes grown in the Côtes du Rhône region of France, and have become popular plantings in growing regions all over the world. The richness of Grenache perfectly blends with the peppery, spicy character of Syrah and Mourvedre.
The VineCo Original GSM resulta in a decadent red blend with flavors of black cherry, spice, and blackberry. The boisterous flavors are balanced with a heavy oaking. The Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre blend is a dry, medium-full bodied red with a stout alcohol content of 13% by volume. This GSM kit uses medium toast oak to impart a very subtle balance of vanillin and spice along with a subdued oakiness.
