A full-bodied, rich and intensly aromatic wine.d’Arenberg are quintessential McLaren Vale and the produce wines that reflect their regionality perfectly.

Mulberry and plum flavors from the Grenache combine with the blackberry, spice and white pepper of the Shiraz. Best served at room temperature, this wine will gain added complexity with careful cellaring over the next two to five years. Composed of 46% Grenache, 39% Shiraz and 15% Mourvedre.
