Tasting Notes for d'Arenberg d'Arry's Original Shiraz/Grenache 2005 75cl:
A Cote du Rhone educated at Heartbreak High; delicious, ultra-ripe fruit all over with deep blackberry, raspberry, vanilla & cocoa notes supported by juicy tannins and fresh acidity. Top stuff!
Producer Information:
Joseph Rowe Osborn, founder of d'Arenberg and patron of the turf, bought his first McLaren Vale vineyards with the winnings of his racehorse, Footbolt, whose name lives on in Shiraz form. His grandson d'Arry and great-grandson Chester inherited the business and have built it into one of Australia's best loved wineries. The last decade has seen Chester develop a range of white wines every bit as individual and thrilling as the reds with which the company made its name. With the iconic red stripe labels and funky names d'Arenberg's wines have a loyal following, eager for more of the rich, concentrated fruit for which they are famous.
