2020 Great Southern Shiraz, Three Lions by Plantagenet Wine Republic - Wine Merchant

2020 Great Southern Shiraz, Three Lions by Plantagenet

Great Southern, Australia

Structured, savoury and finely detailed, this Great Southern Shiraz opens with black cherry, plum and blueberry, layered with cracked black pepper, graphite and a subtle herbal lift. The palate is medium-bodied and composed, delivering dark fruit precision rather than weight, supported by fine, firm tannins and a bright line of acidity that reflects the region’s cool maritime influence. There’s an earthy, mineral undertow running through the wine, finishing long, dry and confidently restrained.

For when: you want Shiraz with depth, not density.
Pairs with: roast lamb, grilled venison, mushrooms, or dishes with herbal complexity.
If this wine were… a long coastal road, cool air, steady pace, and clear focus.

Plantagenet has been a defining force in Western Australia’s Great Southern since its establishment in 1968, championing the region long before it gained international recognition. The Three Lions range showcases varietal expressions that highlight regional character and drinkability. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Great Southern, this Shiraz is shaped by cool nights, ancient soils and a patient approach in the cellar. The result is a refined, savoury Australian Shiraz that speaks clearly of place, balancing structure, freshness and understated power.

The Three Lions wines are from Plantagenet. The name Plantagenet was given to the shire in Western Australia by early English settlers and was adopted by the winery when it was established in 1974. The arms of the Gules family, who later became the Plantagenet dynasty, were three lions passant guardant, termed colloquially “the arms of England”. They were first adopted by King Richard the Lionheart (reigned 1189– 1199), son of King Henry II of England (reigned 1154– 1189), and grandson of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. Plantagenet the winery is self-sufficient, with 126 hectares of vineyard in Great Southern. All their wines are made from estate fruit. Their Three Lions label, with a link to the name Plantagenet, showcases the quality of grapes from across their various sites.

Upon arrival at the winery, the machine-harvested fruit was destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in sealed tanks, with twice daily pump overs. It was aged for 18 months in a combination of oak barriques and stainless steel tanks and blended before bottling.
