Hey Y'all,
When you sip a glass of Three Bays Water, you're not just tasting water—you’re tasting time, geology, and a touch of Australian magic. As a judge at the FineWaters Summit 2025, I had the honor of tasting over 100 waters from around the globe, and I can confidently say that Three Bays deserves every bit of the spotlight. Taking home Silver for both High Still and High Carbonated categories, this natural wonder from Australia continues to surprise, hydrate, and elevate.
Let’s dive into why this brand caught the attention of water sommeliers, enthusiasts, and fine water connoisseurs alike—and why it needs to be in your next curated case from www.salaciousdrinks.com.
The Story Beneath the Surface
Three Bays hails from Victoria, Australia, sourced from one of the most mineral-rich aquifers in the Southern Hemisphere. What sets this water apart is the age of the source—its journey to the surface takes over 2,000 years. As the water percolates deep underground through layers of ancient mineral rock, it becomes naturally enriched with a full suite of essential minerals and trace elements. No processing, no manipulation—just pure, untouched water drawn straight from nature’s vault.
The name "Three Bays" refers to the region’s connection to Western Port Bay, Port Phillip Bay, and the Corio Bay, reflecting not just geography but a sense of coastal purity and legacy. This isn’t just a water you drink—it’s a water you experience.
A Mineral Profile That Speaks Volumes
When we talk about High Minerality waters, we mean waters that truly deliver on taste, mouthfeel, and health benefits—and Three Bays delivers in both still and sparkling forms.
-
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Over 1300 mg/L
-
Magnesium: A standout at 92 mg/L—ideal for muscle relaxation and fighting inflammation
-
Calcium: At 64 mg/L, it supports strong bones and better hydration
-
Sodium: 190 mg/L, providing a slightly savory finish without being overwhelming
-
Potassium, Bicarbonates, Silica—the full suite is here, naturally balanced and beautifully composed
The taste? Smooth, bold, with a velvety minerality that fills your palate. In the sparkling version, the added carbonation lifts the flavors and makes it perfect for pairing with rich dishes, seafood, or even dark chocolate.
Why We Recognized It at FineWaters 2025
What impressed the judges at this year’s FineWaters Summit was not just the technical mineral profile of Three Bays, but its elegance, harmony, and versatility. It is rare to find a water that performs so well in both still and carbonated form. The natural richness of the still version feels grounding and nourishing, while the carbonated version adds vibrancy and sparkle—without disrupting the underlying minerality.
It's not a water that tries to be trendy. It simply is exceptional. And that's what fine water is all about.
