3drops
Shiraz
Great Southern, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
It had been far too long between drops, 3drops that is! I have been eagerly awaiting to crack into this 2018 Shiraz sample over the last couple of months - I always get excited about the new releases from this Great Southern brand as I’m a big fan.
The 3drops vineyard is located just outside Mt Barker in WA. They not only grow grape vines but olive trees too, to make their tasty extra virgin olive oil.
We enjoyed this drop alongside a homemade curry - my favourite food match for Aussie Shiraz!
I found it a deep red-purple velvet shade in the glass. On the nose it comes across as fruity yet savoury to me - think spice, wood, mulberries and plums. While in the mouth it’s über elegant with berries and plum fruit laced with vanillin oak. It’s extremely well balanced and delicious.
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.

A shiny bright purple red colour in the glass. The nose is both savoury and fruity with cherries, blackberries, raspberries and spice coming through. In the mouth it’s fruit forward and by goodness so easy to consume. We felt this is a lighter version of the 2016, more ready to consume now while the former should go back in the cellar for a bit longer.

Cherry red colour in the glass with a big nose full of mushrooms, berries (boysenberry/blackberry) and smooth oak. Firstly it was the lovely long finish that stood out with this wine, a rib eye steak comes to mind as soon as you taste it. Think peppery with acidic berries and cherries and oak/leather/tobacco characteristics. My Dad said that it “reminds me of a cigar that sits on the back of your palate”. It went very well with our curry too!

⚡️New Release⚡️
Introducing the newly released 3 Drops 2015 Shiraz from the Great Southern Wine Region in WA. We teamed this up with pasta 🍝 night and what a combo it was 👌
It’s a deep mauve, red-purple colour in the glass with gorgeous aromatics of a cigar room equipped with leather chair, a touch of cedar and a bowl full of sweet berries and chocolate. I don’t want to be brazen here but in the mouth, Mr. Spittoon really summed up this juicy red wine; ‘very fuckin nice wine’. Needless to say we both enjoyed it very much!
