The 2021 Kaesler Avignon GSM is a rich and expressive Barossa Valley blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, crafted in a generous yet balanced style. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, showing ripe raspberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of spice, black pepper, herbs and a touch of floral lift. Subtle hints of chocolate and savoury earthiness add depth and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a plush, rounded texture and fine tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and gentle spice, leading to a smooth, lingering and approachable finish. The style is fruit-forward and versatile, offering richness without heaviness.
