Plexus, derived from Latin meaning 'a combination of elements into a coherent structure,' perfectly captures the spirit of the John Duval Wines Plexus GSM 2014. This exceptional vintage marks the debut release of Plexus under the iconic John Duval Wines label, first established with the 2003 vintage, embodying a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship and expert blending.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre, this 2014 vintage benefits from premium vineyard selections within renowned Australian terroirs. The year’s favorable climate conditions contributed to the wine’s remarkable balance, showcasing ripe, expressive fruit coupled with elegant structure and depth. The resulting profile is a sophisticated, layered expression of the GSM varietals.

Critically acclaimed with an outstanding 94 points from James Halliday, the Plexus GSM 2014 is a coveted gem among Australian premium wines. Sourced from a private cellar, each bottle reflects limited availability and exclusivity suited for discerning collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate refined cellar-worthy wines.

On the palate, this wine delivers a voluptuous medley of dark berry flavors intertwined with subtle spice nuances and earthy undertones. Silky tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel, leading to a lingering, memorable finish. The structure and complexity make it an ideal companion to hearty dishes or a luxurious indulgence on its own.

John Duval’s dedication to terroir expression and precision blending is evident throughout the Plexus GSM 2014, creating a wine that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide with its elegant yet powerful character.

Reviews

A 47/32/21% blend drawn from old vineyards in a number of districts, Krondorf the one constant, fermented with submerged cap (header boards), matured in French hogsheads (10% new). As is appropriate, complex, but largely fruit-driven, with red cherries/berries and plums to the fore, oak and (particularly) tannins taking a back seat.
"(aged for 14 months in 90 percent used and 10 percent new large French oak barrels) Vivid ruby-red. Expansive aromas of ripe red berries, candied flowers and spicecake, complemented by a subtle mineral nuance. Juicy, concentrated and seamless on the palate, offering sweet raspberry, boysenberry and lavender flavors that become tighter and more lively with air. Shows excellent depth as well as vivacity; fine-grained, firming tannins build slowly on a long, floral-driven finish. In the context of high-end Aussie red wines, this one delivers exceptional value.
