d’Arenberg is a renowned family-owned winery situated in McLaren Vale, South Australia, with a rich history dating back to 1912. Founded by Joseph Osborn, the estate is now led by his great-grandson, Chester Osborn, who has been at the winemaking helm since 1984. The winery is celebrated for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods, including basket pressing and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that are unfiltered and unfined.
d’Arenberg's diverse portfolio includes over 60 wines, known for their distinctive and often whimsical names, such as 'The Dead Arm Shiraz' and 'The Love Grass Shiraz'. The estate's flagship wine, 'The Dead Arm', is particularly notable for its complexity and ageing potential. Visitors to d’Arenberg can experience its offerings at the d’Arenberg Cube, a multi-level, futuristic building housing a tasting room, art installations, and the Alternate Realities Museum, offering a unique blend of wine, art, and architecture.
Before being renamed The Footbolt Shiraz in 1996, the Old Vine Shiraz (as it was then known) was the first wine to use the term ‘Old Vine’. Always reliably good , Footbolt will always please the serious red drinker. Winemaker Notes Nose: Full of the fresh berries and spice synonymous with McLaren Vale, with a slight eucalypt lift. There is real interest in the secondary characters of sarsaparilla, cinnamon and clove which are expressed more completely as the wine opens up. Palate: Mouth coating and plush with red and purple fruits mingling with orange peel and earth. There is a welcomed kick of five spice on the back palate. The lifted and fine fruit tannins provide structure and pull the wine together nicely.
