d’Arenberg d’Arry’s Original Shiraz Grenache 2021

Description

d’Arenberg d’Arry’s Shiraz Grenache is dark in colour, with an almost black core and rim of ruby red. Pomegranate, cranberry and plum waft as the wine opens up. Those same pomegranate and damson plum characters continue on the palate and are enhanced by a slightly herbaceous edge. The Shiraz component gives width and generosity to the finer savoury Grenache tannins. This is the cornerstone of d’Arry’s portfolio and winemaking style. Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in the McLaren Vale, South Australia. Today fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery. Small batches of grapes are crushed gently and then transferred to pen fermenters. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation, the wine is basket pressed and transferred to French oak to complete fermentation and mature for 12 to 21 months.
