The Three Graces 2013 – Graceland
Full Body Red
An intense wine, packed with fruit. A seamless blend, showing all varietals in layers. Cherries, strawberries and savoury notes on the nose and palate. The cooler style Shiraz is not prominent at all, making for a seamless blend reminiscent of Bordeaux.

About this wine
The grapes to produce The Three Graces Graceland are handpicked, wild yeast fermented in open cement tanks, and then moved to barrel for malolactic fermentation. After 14 months of maturation and careful barrel selection, blended and returned to select French barrels. 10 months later the wine is bottled, unfined and unfiltered.The Three Graces, of Greek mythology, beauty, joy and charm symbolize the essential character of Graceland Vineyards. This flagship blend, Three Graces, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz. The cooler style Shiraz is not prominent at all, making for a seamless blend reminiscent of Bordeaux.
Graceland, owned by Susan and Paul McNaughton, is a family run boutique winery, specialising in red wine. Susan, the driving force behind the winery, takes on the roles of marketer, winemaker and viticulturist whilst Paul attends to the farm’s administration and financial needs. During harvest, everyone lends a hand, even the children and dogs. The Graceland wine making philosophy starts in the vineyard where no insecticides are used and minimal spraying. The most important decision each year is when to pick and this is done in small batches according to the microclimate which determines when each row becomes optimally ripe. As to winemaking, the winery is very natural in its approach: only grapes and nitrogen. Sulphur dioxide levels are considerably lower than average.
