Wine Makers Tasting Note
47% Cabernet Sauvignon / 36% Cabernet Franc / 17% Merlot
The ‘Three Graces’ is a classic Bordeaux blend of three of the worlds most noble varieties sourced from premium vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys.

Arriving in small individual crates the grapes were destalked (separating berries from the bunch) and placed into small stainless steel open fermenters.
A cultured yeast was used to start the fermentation and the tanks were pumped over daily spending a total of 7 days on skins at 22 - 28° C.
The skins were gently pressed in the JLB Vaslin Bucher press and the individual parcels were matured separately for three months before being racked, blended and undergoing a further 20 months in a mixture of French oak hogsheads & Puncheons.

Colour
A deep purple red.

Nose
A classic lifted nose of blackcurrant cassis and cedar wood with hints of black olive, pepper, violets and tobacco.

Structure / Palate
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.

This generously flavoured wine is a classical Barossa. Its balanced tannins make it enjoyable now and it will gain greater complexity until at least 2017. Try it with flavoursome red meat dishes.
