Barossa Blend Challenge

Food and Wine

16 Jan 2026 to 18 Jan 2026 Daily Event

Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro; are three grape varieties that have long flourished in the Barossa Valley so much so that G.S.M. has come to be known as the ‘Barossa Blend’.

These three grape varieties blended in the right way can produce a beautifully balanced wine that suits most palates and most occasions. But who does the best Barossa Blend?

1918 Bistro and Grill will be offering their guests the opportunity to vote for their favourite Barossa Blend.

An expert panel of wine judges has done a blind tasting and come up with a top 10 of Barossa’s best G.S.M’s.

These 10 wines will be available for tasting over the weekend.
Enjoy a wine flight of all 10 wines and indulge in a 1918 Winemakers platter to share. Guests will vote for their favourite blends. At the end of the weekend, a Barossa Blend Challenge winner will be crowned.

The Top 10 are:

Sons of Eden ‘Kennedy’ GSM 2022
