2017 The Dead Arm Shiraz, d'Arenberg
Many-layered Shiraz from South Australia, wafting blossom and black pepper into the nose, mulberry, rhubarb and plum into the mouth, followed by a lasting hit of aniseed, liquorice and spice.
- Tasting Note: Many-layered Shiraz from South Australia, wafting blossom and black pepper into the nose, mulberry, rhubarb and plum into the mouth, followed by a lasting hit of aniseed, liquorice and spice.
- Food Matching: Red meat such as beef roast or rib-eye.
- Vineyard: A wet winter ensured good sub soil moisture and set up the vines well with healthy canopies. Spring was very dry with above average temperatures, a heavy downpour in January was a welcome relief. Mild conditions during the ripening period produced wines that show an abundance of spicy fruits with great colour, richness and balanced tannins. Vintage started on 30 January, the earliest start on record by one day.
- Vinification: Small batches of grapes are gently crushed and then transferred to five tonne headed down open fermenters. These batches remain separate until final blending. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation. The wine is then basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of new and used French and old American oak barriques to complete fermentation. The barrel ferments are aged on lees, there is no racking until final blending and no fining or filtration.
