2023 Varney Wines Entrada GMT

This is a great value, juicy Grenache-based blend inspired by winemaker Alan Varney's time in Portugal. This loveable, approachable red from McLaren Vale combines Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Touriga Nacional for a fresh, drink-now style.

Grenache from 60+ year-old bush vines in Blewitt Springs and Seaview offers juicy red fruits. Mourvèdre from 20-year-old vines in White’s Valley adds structure and tannins, while Touriga Nacional from Seaview provides a bright floral lift. Crafted with early-picked grapes, partial whole-bunch fermentation, and short maturation in French barriques, this wine is made for immediate drinking pleasure.

Perfect with mild curries or roasted meats, the Entrada GMT is the product of Alan's skill and relationships with local growers, delivering top-quality fruit and a deliciously drinkable wine. We loved this delicious open-knit, super versatile red. It's a little taste of McLaren Vale with a Portuguese twist.
