This wine has a deep bright crimson-ruby colour with lifted spicy clove, cranberry and
ripening blackberry primary fruit smells, elements of mulberry, raspberry, light
blackcurrant, cinnamon and vanilla liquorice, as well as mint, dried herbs, iodine and
flowers - in particular violets, which are also evident on the young palate.
The flavours begin with vibrant floral fruits and a medium-bodied elegant sweetness.
The flavour grows, as do the vibrant fruit tannins. Rich oak tannins add round weight.
The fragrant, very complex dried herb and iodine characters grow with tannins
freshening the palate. Its medium to full-flavoured fruit weight dominates softer, rounded vanilla-mocha oak flavours, before a long, fine acid and slightly sour cherry tannin like finish.
After some bottle age, Mourvèdre should soften in colour. The palate should also develop and integrate with soft prune, cranberry, velvety, earthy and chocolate flavours and a vibrant fresh acid and a plentiful fine-grained tannin finish for quite some time.

| Wijngoed informatie | "d'Arenberg is one of the most significant wineries in McLaren Vale. In 1912 Joseph Osborn, a teetotaler and director of Thomas Hardy and Sons, purchased the well established Milton Vineyards in the hills just north of the townships of Gloucester and Bellevue, now just known as McLaren Vale. Joseph's son Francis Ernest (Frank') Osborn left medical school, choosing to forsake the scalpel for pruning shears. Fruit from the 78 hectares of vineyards was sold to local wineries until his own cellars were complete in 1928. Dry red table and fortified wines were produced in ever increasing quantities to supply the expanding markets of the Empire. In 1943 Frank's son Francis d'Arenberg, universally known as d'Arry', returned from school, age 16, to help his ill father run the business, eventually assuming full management of d'Arenberg in 1957. d'Arry bottled the first of the famous diagonal red stripe labelled wines two years later. d'Arenberg's wines of the 1960's gained immediate cult status amongst imbibers and judges. One Cabernet Sauvignon won a Jimmy Watson Trophy at the 1969 Royal Melbourne Wine Show and another Grenache - based wine was awarded 7 trophies and 29 gold medals from Australian capital city wine shows. It is understandable that by the 1970's d'Arenberg Wines had become very fashionable and had gained significant national and international profiles in less than 20 years. " |
