ADD TO FAVOURITES

A favourite of ours for a good few years now this McLaren Vale Shiraz is a big, plush, fruity number that opens up in the glass to reveal plenty more while its sheer drinkability is nothing but pleasure. This 2022 release is another stunner and although delicious now it will reward some cellar time.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Dense and expressive. Aromas of forest berries, all spice and musk. Flavours of blackberry, plum and chocolate. Some spice with a touch of earth. Soft and rich with a plush mid-palate. Gentle but persistent tannin giving it flow and a long, even finish."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows blackberry, espresso, cocoa and roasted nut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that's plump and flavoursome. It's generous and mouthfilling with succulent fruit intensity, finishing long and supple. At its best: now to 2034."

Reviews for the 2021 vintage below…

4 Stars Cuisine Shiraz Tasting, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Dark, rich berry fruit, vanilla cola and oak spice aromas abound on the nose. This is a rich and luscious style that has a juicy palate which is held from becoming jammy by the great tannin structure and acid profile that provides drive and length."

90/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, July 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Bold, dark and dry red wine. Feels sloshy and rich up front and finishes with this firming pucker of chalky tannins. Lots of dark fruit and woody spice perfume, similar to taste with a graphite-mineral core. Rolls along with authority. Big red, simple, done well, balanced and true."

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.
