2022 Langmeil Three Gardens Grenache Shiraz Mataro

Old Barossa wine growers called their vineyards gardens. The Three Gardens is a contemporary blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (Mourvèdre), varieties that have been grown in the Barossa since the 1840s. The best characteristics of each variety are combined to create a truly harmonious wine.

You will find ripe red fruit and black cherry notes on the nose, with hints of mocha, subtle savoury and spicy notes adding complexity. On the palate there are bright juicy fruit notes balanced by pepper and sweet spice. Medium in structure with lots of complexity and lovely silky tannins that continue into the fruity, spicy and zesty finish.

1. Roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic

The juiciness of the lamb matches the round tannins of the wine, while the Mediterranean herbs support the spicy character of the GSM. The savoury flavours enhance the dark fruit and make the wine extra accessible.

2. Grilled sausages with lentil salad

Rich, grilled sausages (such as merguez or chipolata) provide structure that the wine can handle well. The lentils bring earthy notes that harmonize beautifully with the Mourvèdre in the blend. Mustard vinaigrette and parsley give the whole a fresh lift that accentuates the fruit of the wine.

3. Roasted aubergine with harissa and yoghurt

The soft texture of the aubergine works well with the supple body of the wine. Harissa brings warmth and spice, picking up the peppery shiraz, while the yoghurt provides balance and freshness.

4. Pizza with chorizo, red onion and pepper

The salty and spicy chorizo perfectly complements the spiciness of the wine. Pepper and onion bring sweetness that emphasizes the ripe fruit in the wine, while the crispy crust enhances the mouthfeel.

5. Spicy oven-baked chicken with cumin and cinnamon

A mildly spiced chicken with Middle Eastern spices brings out the complex layers of the wine. The spices combine with the Mourvèdre and Grenache, without overpowering the wine.

6. Duck breast with cherry-balsamic sauce

Duck has enough fat and structure for the body of the wine. The cherries and balsamic complement the fruit profile of the GSM, while the meat takes it to the next level.

Some of these dishes add an unexpected, luxurious twist to the wine experience without straying from accessible ingredients. They bring complexity and excitement to the pairing without being overdone or difficult to prepare.
