Tasting Notes for d'Arenberg The Money Spider Roussanne 2006 75cl:
Very lovable wine that manages to be both seductively fruity & uber-refreshing. Peach, lemon, honeysuckle & almond can be found on both nose & palate with bright, lemony acidity cleaning up the finish
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.

Regional Info
The name Money Spider originated in 2000. Our first small crop of Roussanne was harvested & held in a shed for an hour while the crusher was being prepared. Meanwhile, a sea of tiny spiders “Money Spiders” (Erigoninae) crawled to the top of the load & started furiously spinning a cover of webs!
Vinification Details
Picked at a slightly higher Beaume to enhance the stonefruit characters, the fermentation period was long & moderately cool to retain fruit characters. Only free-run juice was used for the final wine & no malolactic fermentation was undertaken. A tiny proportion was aged in old French oak.
