d’Arry’s Original Shiraz – Grenache

D'Arenberg is a wine producer located in the McLaren Vale sub-region of South Australia. The 60-plus wines in the portfolio are known as much for their quirky names as they are for their quality. The estate was established in 1912 by Joseph Osborn, who initially sold grapes from the vineyards to other wineries in the region. The d'Arenberg winery was built in 1927, and today, the estate is run by fourth-generation Chester Osborn. All d'Arenberg vineyards are certified for organic and biodynamic processes. In the winery, all wines including the whites are basket-pressed after fermentation.

A classic blend of spicy, red berried Shiraz with juicy, fragrant Grenache. This 50-50 blend is firm, focused and rich, offering attractive aromas of mint, vanilla, cedar and red-skinned plums. Flavors turn darker, suggesting espresso and chocolate, but enlivened by bright acids.
