Kaesler Avignon Gsm 2021

Named after the town of ‘Avignon’ in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region in France, which is famous for making a wine blended from Grenache / Shiraz / Mourvèdre, or GSM as we know it.
At Kaesler each version of the ‘Avignon’ is slightly different depending on vintage conditions and composition of the varieties. However, every year the grapes are sourced from their famous 90 year old Barossa vines.

This blend is comprised of 94 year old Grenache and Mourvèdre, and 59-year-old Shiraz help to fill out the pedigree of this wine. Each variety was fermented on skins for between 7 to 10 days, with careful management to avoid over-extraction. After pressing, each batch is kept separate and racked once or twice over the next twelve months, before being blended and given a light filtration before bottling.
