Hayes Family Wines, Three Kings

Three Kings was proposed and blended based on Brett’s desire to bring together the great three historical red varieties of the Barossa from the three Great Northern Families, the Hoffmann’s, Schulz’s and the Becker’s. Each vintage we receive wonderful fruit, fruit that is classic barossa valley from heritage vineyards in the Barossa’s Northern reaches. Our goal, was to then bring together this fruit in a way that best represents the Barossa Blend in the best
vintage to date for the 21st Century. Three Kings was born. The hallmarks you could for hope for, rich power red and black fruits, lifted aromas that bely the underlying depth of fruit and tannin. Light on its feat but with the depth on the finish.

We are the proud custodians of a superbly-sited historic Barossa vineyard, driven by the desire to feel the soil on our hands and to craft authentic, classically-styled wines that reflect our unique sites. We achieve this by working with the region’s hero varieties – Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and Semillon – certified organic vineyards, handling our fruit respectfully in the winery with minimal intervention, no fining and no filtering of our red wines (and hence they are vegan friendly).Barossa Valley is home to our primary vineyards, including our Estate Vineyard in Stone Well, where we operate our winery and farm-style cellar door. The Barossa Valley is a truly special place with a history dating back to the 1840s and reputation for producing some of the world’s finest Shiraz. Our vineyards date back to the 1870s and have been the source of some of the region’s flagship wines over several generations. We believe in doing things naturally, therefore much of our work is hands-on. We hand-prune and hand-harvest, managing all aspects in the vineyard with extreme care and attention to detail. Our vineyards are typically dry-grown with certain blocks supported by drip irrigation. We don’t apply any unnatural fertilsers or sprays, farming our vineyards sustainably and organically (our Estate Vineyard in Stone Well is Certified Organic and Certified Sustainable).
