3 Dark Horses Grenache 2011

This venture is run by Matt Broomhead who used to be the wine-maker at Coriole. He has managed to find top quality vineyards in McLaren Vale that produce rich wines with elements of elegance. This is a new label that is one to watch.


3 Dark Horses Grenache 2011

McLaren Vale has managed to produce more European wines in 2011 but they still retain those gorgeous regional elements. To begin with this wine is dry and savoury with notes of boot polish, raspberries, spice and charcuterie. The wine is light to medium bodied with a set of dry tannins sitting underneath the flavours. The oak is still a little dominant at this stage but give it a year or two and it should resolve itself.
