The elevated sites in Eden Valley yield small, intense berries that possess great intensity of flavour without sacrificing balance and poise. Heroic in style, it still retains the cooler edge and tighter structure that make the great wines from Eden Valley famous.

The name Gask references to the stone burial grounds on the hills above the Torbreck forest - rocky outcrops that are scattered throughout Scotland - eerily similar to the landscape of the Eden Valley.

The 2023 growing season brought above-average rainfall in winter and spring and a cooler summer. The majority of the harvest took place in the colder months, and most vineyards were not harvested until April, approximately one month later than usual. Cooler seasons can pose several challenges, but through our dedicated commitment
to viticulture practices, such as hand pruning and harvesting with careful soil management, the vintage resulted in low-yielding and resilient fruit.

The vintage has resulted in very strong wines from the Eden and Barossa Valleys, with bright colours and freshness from higher natural acidities, auguring them towards greater longevity and detail across the palate.

Deep crimson with dark Aubergine core. Blue and purple fruits are immediate on the nose with aromas such as wild blueberries, mulberries and boysenberries. Theres an intriguing graphite and granite like minerality interwoven across secondary notes such as
potpourri, cedar and sandalwood. The palate is plush and envelopes the cool blue fruit flavours alongside soft round tannins and lengthy acidity that rounds out the polished textural mouthfeel. A wine that is so easy to enjoy in its youth but will cellar for 10 years. Enjoy with BBQ meats like rib eye or grilled Italian sausage with peperonata. Ready from 2025. Serve at 16C/60F.
