Tasting Notes for d'Arenberg Derelict Vineyard Grenache 2005 75cl:
A very intense old vine, earthy, brooding Grenache with red berries, spicy pot pourri and licquorice on the nose. The palate typifies the low yield with its mid-palate softness, fullness of flavour and intensity of cured meats, rich plum, roasted olive, prunes, dark licquorice, spices and dried herbs.
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.
