A typical blend of these two famous Bordeaux varieties, being 78% Cabernet and 22% Merlot.The name 'Three Sovereigns' comes from an old Brokenwood story:'If your wine is as scarce as gold you must be paid in gold’. These were the words of Melbourne restaurateur Herma Schneider that accompanied three gold half-sovereigns, payment for five cases of 1975 Brokenwood Cabernet Sauvignon. The proprietor of Two Faces had previously ordered wine from the 1973 and 1974 vintages but, such was the demand, none could be supplied. Not so the 1975, with the wine duly delivered later that year.
