2023 Langmeil Three Gardens Grenache Shiraz Mataro

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

You'll find notes of ripe red fruit and black cherries on the nose, with hints of mocha, subtle savory, and spicy notes adding complexity. On the palate, there are notes of bright, juicy fruit balanced by pepper and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with plenty of complexity, it boasts lovely, silky tannins that carry through to a fruity, spicy, and zesty finish.

1. Roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic

The lamb's juiciness complements the wine's round tannins beautifully, while the Mediterranean herbs enhance the GSM's spicy character. The savory flavors enhance the dark fruit and make the wine even more 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 wine's fruit.

3. Roasted aubergine with harissa and yoghurt

The soft texture of the eggplant pairs well with the wine's supple body. Harissa brings warmth and spice, which picks up the peppery notes of the Shiraz, while the yogurt provides balance and freshness.

4. Pizza with chorizo, red onion and pepper

The salty and spicy chorizo perfectly complements the wine's spiciness. Bell pepper and onion bring sweetness that emphasizes the ripe fruit, 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 wine's complex layers. The spices blend with the Mourvèdre and Grenache without overpowering the wine.

6. Duck breast with cherry-balsamic sauce

Duck has enough fat and structure to give the wine its full body. The cherries and balsamic complement the fruity profile of the GSM beautifully, while the meat elevates the overall experience.

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 overly elaborate or difficult to prepare.
