What is a Super Tuscan style wine? It's a wine made with grapes not native to Tuscany, Italy, so for example Sangiovese with other Bordeaux style fruit.
For example, our l'Occasione is made with 50% Sangiovese (classic Italian Chianti), blended with Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc. The result is a fruity and racey wine that is super food friendly.
2019 was a standout year in the Eagle Foothills and our 2019 GSM (64% Grenache / 31% Mourvèdre / 5% Syrah) is no exception to the rule. The rare vine cuttings came from the storied CdP estate, Château de Beaucastel, in France and are thriving in our sandy/loamy soil.
This very special wine marries boisterous and fruity Grenache with brooding and peppery Mourvèdre and Syrah.
We are understandably proud of our Estate Wines, wines grown and created by 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards here in the Eagle Foothills AVA.
