3drops Pinot Noir

The 2023 Great Southern Pinot Noir from 3 Drops exemplifies our commitment to quality winemaking. Crafted from carefully selected grapes, this vintage reflects the ideal growing conditions of the season. Our meticulous approach in both the vineyard and winery ensures that the inherent qualities of the fruit shine through, resulting in a wine that beautifully captures the essence of Mount Barker.

Light red in colour, this Pinot Noir presents an elegant nose filled with enticing aromas of wild strawberries and red currants. Underlying these vibrant fruit notes is a subtle hint of savouriness, adding complexity and intrigue to the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine is both refined and succulent, showcasing a fine tannin structure with a smooth, creamy texture. Lively spiciness lingers on the finish, enhancing the overall experience. The high-quality French oak is expertly integrated, supporting the wine without overshadowing its fruit character. Dark cherry and perfumed strawberry nuances blend harmoniously, while an array of spices adds depth. The palate captures the varietal’s essence, offering a soft plushness balanced by a firm, powerful core that sustains a long, satisfying finish. This vintage represents a significant breakthrough for 3 Drops.

We recommend pairing our Pinot Noir with grilled salmon or braised duck for an exquisite dining experience. Alternatively, create the perfect moment with a delightful assortment of cheese, charcuterie, and great company to enhance the wine’s character and complexity.

3 Drops Winery: A Taste of Western Australia

Nestled in the heart of Mount Barker, 3 Drops Winery is a gem of the Great Southern region of Western Australia, renowned for its exceptional wines and stunning vineyard landscapes. Our unique location benefits from a Mediterranean climate, characterised by warm summer days and cool nights, ideal for grape growing. Complemented by gravelly loam soils, our vineyards showcase a distinctive terroir that imparts remarkable flavours and complexity to our wines.

Our Vineyards: A Legacy of Quality

Established in 1999, 3 Drops Winery began with the meticulous planting of eight hectares of vines along Wragg Road. Our initial selections included a diverse array of varietals, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz. This foundational planting set the stage for what has become a dynamic and thriving vineyard.

In 2002, we expanded our horizons to include an additional 6.5 hectares, diversifying our offerings with the introduction of Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon, and Nebbiolo. This commitment to variety allows us to produce a rich tapestry of wines that cater to a wide range of palates and preferences.

A significant milestone for 3 Drops came in May 2006 with the acquisition of the adjacent Patterson’s vineyard. This six-hectare expansion not only increased our vineyard size by 50 per cent but also enriched our portfolio with valuable aged vines. Originally planted in 1982, Patterson’s vineyard is home to exceptional Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir grapes, each contributing to the depth and character of our wine selections.

Our Philosophy: Quality and Passion in Every Bottle

At 3 Drops Winery, we believe that great wine starts in the vineyard.

The Climate and Soil: A Perfect Combination

The climate at 3 Drops Winery plays a crucial role in producing high-quality wines. With warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, our Mediterranean climate allows for a long and gradual ripening period. This extended growing season enables the grapes to develop rich flavours and maintain a perfect balance of acidity. The cool nights further enhance the fruit’s freshness, ensuring vibrant characteristics in every bottle.

Our vineyard’s gravelly loam soils are equally significant, providing excellent drainage while retaining enough moisture to support healthy vine growth. The mineral-rich composition of the soil contributes unique flavour profiles to our grapes, enhancing their complexity and depth. This harmonious interplay between climate and soil allows us to create wines that truly reflect the essence of our terroir.
