A smart GSM from Angove Family Wines that scoots along with plenty of charm. There’s an attractive blend of fruit, spice and savoury delight here, with measured density giving the palate some drive while a lovely perfume lift has you leaning closer. Blueberries, raspberries and plums provide the fruit core, joined by spice, peppered steak and a dark chocolate brownie richness. A whisper of cocoa adds another layer of interest.

Ripe raspberries, red currants and bright red cherries bring plenty of juicy fruit energy, while puffs of earth and a shimmer of chocolate brownie add savoury and darker notes. There’s a lovely red apple crunch running through the palate, keeping everything bright and breezy. It’s not trying to be serious, and that’s exactly the point. This is a wine made for good times, relaxed afternoons and another glas
