Papa Luna GSM

Papa Luna GSM is like the Spanish version of Châteauneuf-du-Pape! Produced from 60 to 100 year old vines and made Master of Wine Norrel Robertson aka “El Escocés Volante” aka The Flying Scotsman! Born in Scotland but plying his trade in Spain. He studied Post-Grad Viticulture in New Zealand and he’s the only Master of Wine based in Spain (the world’s 3rd largest wine producer).

Norrel is the winemaker who learnt a trick or two here in Aotearoa before he went on to churn out these world class wines.

Predominantly made up of juicy Grenache (about 75%) and dark, peppery Shiraz (20%) with a splash of Mazuelo (5%) – all produced from vines that are 70-100 years old in Calatayud (near Zaragoza in the north of Spain). It’s a wine that’s dark inky in colour and packed with dark berry fruits with soft, silky tannins.

This one will need need big, rich red meat dishes but boy will you be rewarded for it! Will drink well over the next 6 years.
