Sold Out
‘The Three Graces’ is a classic Bordeaux blend of three of the worlds most noble varieties. A classic lifted nose of blackcurrant cassis and cedar wood with hints of black olive, pepper, violets and tobacco.
The palate is an integrated blend of flavours, svelte and seamless showing prominent blackcurrant fruit delicately interwoven with tobacco leaf, capsicum, black pepper and savoury French oak giving the wine an undeniable elegance and generous length.
The grapes for the Three Graces are selected from premium vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys including the Krondorf, Lyndoch, Stonewell and Vine Vale sub-regions.
Delivered in small bins the grapes are destemmed and fermented in small format stainless steel open fermenters.The must is hand plunged twice daily, with fermetation complete over a total of 7 days on skins at 22 - 28° C. The skins are gently pressed in our Bucher basket press and the individual parcels are matured separately for three months before being racked, blended and undergoing a further 20 months in a mixture of French oak barrels.
