Three Dark Horses
Established on a 22 acre vineyard in Blewitts Springs, South Australia, Three Dark Horses is located in the heart of a region known for producing magnificent red varieties, their vineyard producing Shiraz and Cabernet and including a section of 60 year old Cabernet vines. They focus on offering small-batch, hand-made, affordable wines of character that represent their unique expression of the McLaren Vale region.
The hand-made aspect is central and of highest importance to Three Dark Horses, with everything being hand made, with a shovel, basket press and with wild yeast reigning supreme.
Three Dark Horses produces variants of Shiraz, Grancahe, Touriga and Cabernet, with a milestone occuring in 2014 when they produced their first white wines, a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, both from the Adelaide Hills. It began when Matt, a former winemaker at Coriole, was presented with a unique opportunity to make wine from Bruno Romano’s old vineyard in the Seaview sub-region of McLaren Vale. It was an offer from his father Alan and grandfather Frank that he could not refuse.
