In the Black Elephant Vintners Three Men In a Tub Red Blend, old world style meets new world and behind the amusing label and name of this well-created blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (35%) and a dash of four other red grape varieties (5%) lies an immensely accessible and harmonious red wine. Its deep aromatics of dark berry fruit combine with exciting hints of subtle leather notes, fine spices and delicately salty licorice in the background. Tannins and fruit are in wonderful balance, the finish presents itself long-lasting, balanced and pleasantly soft.

The hand-picked grapes were stored overnight in cold storage and the following day completely destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. After 3- 4 days, spontaneous fermentation began, that is, only wild yeasts naturally occurring on the fruit and the environment started the fermentation process. In order to extract the maximum color, flavor, aromas and tannins from the skins, the cap was submerged two or three times a day and the must was stirred by hand. Then it went to the traditional basket press, where the wine was pressed and left directly in older French oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation was completed and the wine aged for 19 months before blending and bottling.
