3 Drops

Blessed with a Mediterranean climate featuring warm summer days and cool nights, complemented by gravelly loam soils, the 3drops vineyards boast a distinctive terroir. In 1999, eight hectares of vines were meticulously planted at Wragg Road, Mount Barker, encompassing varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz.

To diversify the predominantly red vineyard, an additional 6.5 hectares were planted in 2002, introducing Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon, and Nebbiolo.

In May 2006, the acquisition of the adjacent 6-hectare Patterson’s vineyard marked a significant expansion of 3drops’ viticultural holdings, increasing its size by 50 percent. Originally planted in 1982, Patterson’s vineyard boasts valuable aged vines yielding Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir grapes.

Under the meticulous management of viticulturist Ray Williams, and guided by the expertise of winemaker Rob Diletti of Castle Rock, all wines produced at 3drops are a testament to the dedication and passion invested in every aspect of the winemaking process.

There are some wonderful reviews on the 3drops wine range from Wine Companion & Ray Jordan.
