Details and technical informations about Winery Stonehurst's Les Trois Rouges.
Discover the grape variety: Ribol
Light, simple, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy, moderately acidic palate, with undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, Ribol is an ancient variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare black grape, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Hunter Valley
Cradle of Australian viticulture (1825), 160 km north of Sydney. World signature: dry low-alcohol Sémillon (10-11°) with fresh citrus notes in youth, evolving after 10-15 years to candied lemon, toast, honey and beeswax, spectacular ageing. Medium-bodied "Hunter style" Shiraz, supple and earthy (leather, plum, sweet spices), capable of decades. Also Chardonnay and Verdelho.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Tired
Wine that is too old, faded or has suffered from handling such as racking or bottling. In the first case it is too late, in the second case the wine must be put to rest for a few weeks in the cellar.
