GSM’s (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre blends)   by Marty Cook

Next week’s Wine Wednesday on November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time will examine a very popular red wine blend to which many refer as a “GSM” (an acronym for three well-known grape varieties known as “Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre”). This genre of wines is a huge favorite among red wine blend fans and is prized for its complex red fruit flavors and age-worthy potential. Originally grown in the Côtes du Rhône region of France, this blend is now evidenced in many wine regions of the world. This style and variations of the GSM blend excels in warmer climates such as in Spain, South Australia, South Africa, parts of the United States, and Southern France. In Australia, the grapes are commonly called Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro. Some of the most renowned examples of GSM are known as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is produced in the Rhône and where producers are permitted to use up to nineteen different grape varieties (including white grapes). Examples of this wine is produced in regions of the United States as diverse as Paso Robles, California, as well as Central Virginia and Washington State.

So, scout out the shelves of your local wine and spirits shop and delve into the topic of GSM’s. After you research, decide on and purchase the GSM about which you want to share on our next Wine Wednesday, remember to take photos of the front and back/side labels and send them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday evening, for inclusion in our weekly Power Point slideshow.
