Grant Burge Abednego Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre
Description
Grant Burge Abednego Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre — Barossa Valley, South Australia, 12.5% ABV. The icon-tier GSM from the Grant Burge estate — a multi-varietal expression that rewards both the sommelier and the collector. The colour is a deep, vivid ruby red with flashes of purple at the rim. The nose unfolds in layers: dark cherries and ripe raspberries open first, followed by aromatic star anise, warming cinnamon, and a rich seam of dark chocolate. On the palate, Grenache brings silk and red-fruit vitality, Shiraz adds structure and dark-fruit depth, and Mourvèdre grounds the blend with savoury, garrigue-inflected spice. Supple tannins carry the wine to a long, warming finish. It cellars beautifully.
On-trade positioning: Abednego is the ideal entry point into the GSM conversation for sommeliers who want to offer guests a Rhône-style blend from the Southern Hemisphere at icon quality. The three-variety composition — each component visibly present in the glass — gives a skilled host the material for an exceptional table narrative about varietal blending and Barossa terroir. It pairs naturally with lamb shoulder, duck confit, and charcuterie boards where its spice, fruit, and savoury character all find resonance. As the third pillar of Grant Burge's icon range alongside Meshach and Shadrach, Abednego completes a prestige by-the-bottle offering that covers Shiraz, Cabernet, and GSM — giving operators a clean premium narrative without needing multiple producers. Position against Southern Rhône blends on the list to highlight comparable complexity at competitive pricing.
