Tasting Notes for d'Arenberg The Custodian Grenache 2005 75cl:
Juicy, deep, old vine Grenache with plenty of power. Dark black olive notes add depth to the up-front rasp- & strawberry fruit with sweet, ripe tannins providing support. Wonderfully drinkable stuff!
Press Coverage:
"Spices, blackberry and forest fruits with a touch of earth and oak work well together."
Geoffrey Smeddle, SundayHeraldGlasgow - 25/11/07
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.
