You know what they say, never underestimate a dark horse. Trust us when we say this is a wine that’s well worth backing. This McLaren Vale label has become a massive hit with lovers of Aussie red over several years now and it’s damn easy to see why.

After making wine in Italy and France former Coriole winemaker Matt Broomhead returned to the McLaren Vale to kick off his own gig with Dad Alan and 94 year old Grandad Frank. They’re the Three Dark Horses, they’re seriously boutique and they’re producing some seriously good, seriously affordable wine.

This is the Three Dark Horses 100% Grenache using single vineyard fruit from the iconic Romano vineyard, with vines up to 75 years old and aged 10 months in seasoned French oak. Grenache (aka Garnacha) has thrives in the warmer climate regions of the wine world like Spain, southern France and increasingly parts of Aussie like the McLaren Vale!

Winemaker Matt calls said this one has “Flavours of raspberry, cherry and spice.Medium bodied. Soft and plush, with a fine, sandy tannin structure and a mineral backbone. Classic McLaren Vale Grenache.”
