Notes on the Wine
The color is intense, deep crimson with vibrant purple hue with aromas of blood plum and dark chocolate and an array of ripe blackberries, supported by toasty American oak. The palate is full bodied with big rich characters, encompassing a tannic mouth feel of vanilla and coconut combined with sweet fruit and warm alcohol.
Notes on the Producer
Three Bridges is part of the Calabria Family Wines portfolio. Calabria Family Wines was founded by Italian immigrants, Domenico Calabria and his son Francesco, in search of a better life. They settled in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, where their family later joined them. Today, the business is run by Francesco’s son Bill and his four children. The family is known for consistent, high quality wines from several premium wine-growing regions The name Three Bridges Wine represents a very important part of Calabria family history and also embodies Australian history. The “Three-Way Bridge” structure, which was adjacent to the historic Calabria Winery, was built in the early 1900s and used as an overpass for vehicles and foot traffic. The river which ran under the three-way bridge was used to supply water from the famous Snowy Mountains in Australia. It is these veins of water that feed the vast agricultural lands of Australia.
