Named in honor of the Three Graces of Greek mythology—representing charm, beauty, and joy—this classic Barossa blend is a masterful assembly of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Cabernet Franc. Chateau Tanunda utilizes fruit from select premium vineyards across the Barossa Valley, marrying the structural power and dark fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon with the plush, spicy richness of Shiraz, and the aromatic lift of Cabernet Franc. Traditionally fermented in open fermenters and basket-pressed before aging in French and American oak barrels, this wine represents a harmonious union of old-world structure and bold, sun-drenched Australian fruit character.
