Papa Luna GSM 2020
Spain, Spain
93 POINTS | Cameron Douglas MS
91 POINTS | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This excellent GSM blend is produced by Norrel Robertson MW and brought into New Zealand by another MW, gifted importer Steve Bennett. Always a sure-fire hit with the Advintage Faithful, Papa Luna showcases the dark juicy fruits of Spanish Grenache and the magic that happens when high quality Syrah and Mazuelo are brought into the blend. We like to think of it like a Spanish version of Chateauneuf du Pape and it's about as plush and opulent as Spanish wine gets in this price band. It's been an almost obligatory staff order at our local wine bar for as long as we can remember, and that's because it's a perfect example of immediately enjoyable, but ultimately very satisfying modern Spanish red wine. It comes very highly recommended.

Tasting Notes
Vinted from Old Vine Garnacha (75%), Syrah (20%) and Mazuelo (5%)
The winery writes "Deep purple with ruby red rim. Lifted aromas of raspberry and black cherry fruit with complex notes of pepper and mountain herbs. Full-bodied with smooth tannins and soft acidity. Mouthfilling with dense black fruit and a long smoky finish."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Very expressive and fruity bouquet with layers of red berries and spice, there’s a light meaty quality, a core of mineral with a stony granite quality then a layer of dried herb and wood spices. A firm youthful texture with tannins and acidity driving the mouthfeel. Flavours of cranberry and spiced plum, boysenberry and mascerated cherries then vanilla and mineral returns. A decent weight with mesium+ complexity and loads of charm."
