Description

Lord’s Wines Three Barrel Shiraz

The Lord’s Wines Three Barrel Shiraz is expressive, ambitious and completely uncompromising. The team selects fruit from just sixteen vineyard rows — an extraordinary level of selectivity that speaks directly to the quality and commitment behind this wine.

Furthermore, it represents the absolute pinnacle of red winemaking at Lord’s Wines. As a result, this is a collector’s Shiraz of genuine distinction, remarkable depth and extraordinary ambition. Above all, Three Barrel Shiraz is built not only for immediate pleasure, but for graceful evolution over many years to come.

Winemaking & Craftsmanship

The team ferments this wine with precision and ages it for 36 months in new French oak barrels. This extended ageing is a bold commitment to quality that very few South African wineries make.

Furthermore, the 36 months in new French oak develops a remarkable level of concentration and complexity. In addition, every element — fruit, oak, tannin and acidity — finds perfect and harmonious equilibrium through patience and craft. Consequently, this wine fully justifies its collector’s status among the finest South African reds available today. As a result, it stands apart from every other wine in the Lord’s Wines range.

Tasting Notes

An intense and commanding purple hue introduces the deeply complex aromatic profile with quiet authority. On the nose, ripe plum, white pepper and warm spice emerge with confidence and unmistakable presence.

In addition, the palate is full-bodied and beautifully structured. Notes of dark chocolate and smoky undertones develop and evolve with time in the glass. Moreover, these remarkable layers of complexity speak directly to the patience of 36 months in new French oak. Furthermore, the fruit remains confidently at the centre throughout. Ultimately, the finish is lingering, opulent and truly extraordinary — staying with you long after the last sip.
