3 Drops

3 Drops is the name of the Bradbury family vineyard at Mount Barker. The name reflects wine, olive oil and water – all of which come from the substantial property. The vineyard is planted to riesling, sauvignon blanc, semillon, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, shiraz and cabernet franc, and irrigated by a large wetland on the property. 3 Drops also owns the 6ha Patterson Vineyard, planted in '82 to pinot noir, chardonnay and shiraz. -JAMES HALLIDAY
