GUM Wine 2025 Heathcote Grenache Blanc

"The 2025 Grenache Blanc from George McCullough’s Gum Wine races out of the glass with enlivening aromas of white peach, yellow citrus, and baking apple prefacing savoury characters (that jostle for attention): caraway and malty rye, almond, fleur de sal, and vanilla wafers. The palace is silken in texture, compact and punchy; the finish, buoyed by fresh acidity, soft and rounded and nicely saline. Indeed, it is this salinity more than phenolic that renders the wine moreish. Those wafer biscuits are back, along with stem ginger, Riga Rye, curry leaf, and pomelo. Delicious." — David
