Willow Bridge Estate GSM 2024

Tasting Notes

🔹 Appearance – A rich, deep red hue with inviting clarity.

🔹 Aroma – Fresh forest berries, black satsuma plums, and a touch of vanilla spice fill the nose, creating an inviting bouquet.

🔹 Palate – The wine is juicy and full of crushed blackberries, dark red plums, and subtle rolling tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the palate.

🔹 Finish – The wine concludes with a peppery spice that lingers, balancing the rich fruit with a touch of complexity.

Winemaking

🔹 GSM Blend – A classic Rhône Valley blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro, each contributing to the wine’s vibrant fruit and balanced structure.

🔹 Vineyard Selection – The Grenache and Mataro vines, grafted in 2015, were planted on sites with optimal heat exposure to enhance ripening and flavour expression.

🔹 Fresh & Fruit-driven – The wine is made to highlight the purity of the fruit with minimal intervention, preserving the natural vibrancy of the blend.

Serving Temperature

🔹 Ideal – 16°C

🔹 Why – Slightly chilled to enhance its fresh, vibrant character, while allowing the spice and fruit complexity to shine.

🔹 How – Serve after a 15-20 minute rest from the fridge to hit the perfect drinking temperature.

🔹 Result – At the right temperature, the wine’s balance of fruit, spice, and texture will be at its best, offering a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Perfect Pairings

🔹 Roasted Meats – Ideal with dishes like roast lamb, pork belly, or grilled steaks, where the wine’s medium body complements the rich, savoury flavours.

🔹 Hearty Stews – Pair with slow-cooked beef or lamb stew to enhance the wine’s fruit and spice character.

🔹 Pizza & Charcuterie – A versatile wine for casual meals, complementing flavours like pizza with spicy sausage or a charcuterie platter.

FAQ: Wine Terms ❓

🔹 GSM Blend – A classic red wine blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro, originating from the Rhône Valley in France. Each variety contributes different elements – Grenache adds fruitiness, Shiraz provides spice, and Mataro brings tannic structure.

🔹 Soft Tannins – Refers to the smooth, rounded texture on the palate, with tannins that aren’t too harsh or astringent.

🔹 Forest Berry Compote – A rich, jam-like combination of berries such as blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, which creates a deep and complex fruit profile.

🔹 Piquancy – A slight, pleasant sharpness or spice, often described as the tingling or zesty character on the finish.

Great option if you are wanting a to send someone a wine gift that actually has GOOD wine in it! Got the wine and chocolate pack sent to a friend and got to choose two fab wines from a great selection of WA wineries. Kirk was great to communicate with and the service was prompt.

Kirk and Rebecca are a great team supplying best quality curated local wines at competitive prices delivered to your door.  Avoid the general swill at the big players, see Partners in Wine.

Absolutely outstanding service! The personal attention is second to none. Kirk always goes above and beyond to source some wines for me. The delivery is simply the fastest I’ve ever experienced. A pleasure to deal with every time. If you’re looking for exceptional service, great wines and a company that truly cares about its customers, I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended
