Plantagenet Three Lions
The Plantagenet's were the first truly armigerous royal dynasty of England meaning they were entitled to strike and bear various coats of arms. The arms of this noble, later royal, family, "Gules, three lions passant guardant", termed colloquially "the arms of England" were first adopted by King Richard the Lionheart (1189 - 1199), son of King Henry ll of England (1154 - 1189), son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou (1113/17 - 1151).
These Three Lions signified royalty, history, power and a code of conduct that was instantly recognized wherever they were displayed.
So too with this range of wines. They are from the oldest established winery in the Great Southern - they are wines with power and provenance. The Three Lion coat of arms of Plantagenet Wines is a recognized symbol of quality and prestige.
