2019 Schwarz Wine Co 'The Growers' Barossa Valley GSM
It's fair to say the Schwarz wines are excellent." Campbell Mattinson, Winefront.
Founded by Jason Schwarz in 2001, this Barossa label sources fruit from two family vineyards in Bethany, alongside a number of long-established grower suppliers working with high quality old vine material.

91 POINTS
52/42/6% grenache/shiraz/mataro, from 6 districts across the Barossa floor. 25% whole bunches, wild fermented and foot stomped. 40% matured in old French oak puncheons and hogsheads. Unfined. Well-composed GSM, in a friendly and complex style, at once fruity, spicy and coherent and yet structured and determined. Spicy dark berry fruits and dried herbs unite with cocoa-powder oak. Powder-fine tannins of nicely resolved texture provide confident direction to a finish of even flow and persistence.
