World's Best GSM of DWWA 2025
A vinous rematch of the famous 1811 battle at Barrosa Ridge where Spain and France collided. La Résistance! takes up the fight for the traditional French varieties of the Barossa and pitches gnarly old vine Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre into defence against the invading foreign marauders.

Description
2023 La Résistance Barossa GSM has taken out a coveted GOLD award at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) and is the top scoring GSM of the awards this year!
For 10 years they've been on a quest to make the perfect Barossa GSM... and in 2023 we reckon Chaffey Bros has nailed it. It's generous, juicy, balanced & refined... a wine fit for any occasion and any crowd!
Old Vine Grenache is the hero of this Barossa GSM. Elegant Syrah and spicy Mourvèdre add their signature definition and structure to this harmonious ensemble. 9 months Elevage in seasoned (3 - 8yr old) French oak Hogsheads support deep-fruited, dark cherry, strawberry and mineral laden (graphite/ferrous) palate with a lovely savoury lick of supple fine-grain tannin. Gentle refreshing acidity gives great line and drives the brooding and delicious fruit through to a lingering finish.
GSM = Rhone inspired Barossa Blend. Enjoy with your best spag bol recipe, chargrilled/barbecued meats, or take roast veggies to new heights.
