Most new labels in the market place, (particularly in the sub $20 category) start with a bang and over deliver in the first couple of vintages in an attempt win new customer's loyalty. However, in follow up releases they can tend to start to stretch expectations of quality in order to meet increased demand. Gradually the brand fades away as customers become disillusioned with what's become a lesser wine. Three Brothers, on the other hand, has made quality and consistency its number one priority, only gradually increasing production while building up a very loyal customer base that's made this our top selling red for the last nine years.
Rock-steady consistency is what has entrenched Three Brothers as our biggest selling red wine, with some vintages punching well above their price point. 2010 has set the stage for what will go down as one of Australia's best value reds.
Totally opaque black crimson colour with deep dark crimson red hue. The nose exhibits surprising complexity and intensity for it’s modest price point with aromas of dark plum and ripe blackberry followed by a touch of liquorice and spice with a light toast overlay. Generously weighted, the palate is filled with perfectly ripened Shiraz flavours of ripe dark plum and blackberry followed by some light toast with a spicy back palate. Fleshy mouthfeel with a soft, velvet like tannin structure. Long aftertaste of blackberry, dark plum, liquorice and spice.Even in times of a global oversupply this wine remains a stellar value.
Drink over the next 3-4 years (2011-2015).
