Tenafeate Creek One Tree Hill GSM 2023
$30, 15% alcohol, screwcap, Mount Lofty Ranges zone.
This is a throaty GSM with tar, raspberry jelly, sweet spice and toast characters pushing throughout. There’s a sweet herb/tonic-like note in play as well. It’s warm-hearted and deep flavoured, and not subtle about it either. Stand clear. This packs a punch. 90 points.
