HUGH HAMILTON SCOUNDREL GSM 2022

NEW VINTAGE - NEW BLEND

No-one gets called a Scoundrel anymore and we think that’s just
scandalous; let’s bring it back, but we’ll mean it with affection like ‘You
adorable Scoundrel!’ Give to it the affection we feel for a classic GSM, a
perfect fusion of three varieties famed in their own right but fated to feel
‘just right’ when assembled together.

Grenache is a great solo artist, and also strong enough to happily share the stage. The subtle interplay of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro leaves no second fiddles in this trio. It’s just a matter of fine tuning how much and where.

Grenache at the front of the parade throwing roses along a darker path of Shiraz and Mataro; all black tar and split stone. Seductive rather than subtle it rolls with raspberry – right down to the crunch of the seeds. Whiffs of cinnamon, cardamon, and sage. Demerara and violets.
