A blend of Barossa favourites: Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre.

*Light’s Vision: A Battle for the Barossa. The CB boys ( Daniel Chaffey Hartwig, Huon Fechner and Theo Engela) explain this better than I can:
“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 marauder.”

Chaffey Bros Wine Co, La Résistance!, G.S.M. Barossa, 2022

Tea cake spices, cuddly dark red plum and cherry fruits, rose petals, nutty sweet oak influence kissed by char and a stony turned earth base. Initial fruit generosity gets bound by tension and focus. Firm tannins and refreshing, cooling acidity cleaning up the tail replete with red fruit and dried petal echoes. Match up with lamb steaks or put it in the cellar for a couple of years.
