Torzi Matthews is well known for producing some of South Australia's best value reds and is a long-time favourites of ours. We recently welcomed this 'Old Vines' GSM from Torzi Matthews which is made from two old vineyards dating back to 1914 (Rowland Flat) and 1932 (Angaston Village).
A blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Shiraz and 15% Mataro, this 2023 Torzi Matthews Old Vines GSM is made via a mixture of whole berry and 25% whole bunch natural vineyard yeast ferment in small open top fermenters. Basket pressed into seasoned 500lt French oak barrels and bottled unfiltered, this captures the essence of old-vine GSM is a beautifully delicious and flavoursome red wine.
"Two vineyards, one planted 1914 in Rowland Flat, the other 1932 in Angaston Village. Raspberry, cocoa, some liquorice, rhubarb, something floral too, like dried roses. It’s a supple and juicy wine, a smattering of dried herb and new leather adds a savoury component, and the finish is fleshy and somewhat stony, and offers excellent length. Very good and something of a bargain with it. 93 Points. Tasted: Nov24. 14% alc. $28 Screwcap Drink: 2024 - 2030"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
