D’Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz 2015

Comes off low-yielding, old dry-grown vines and treated in small batches ever so gently, even to the point of foot treading. As is normal at d’Arenberg, the wines were aged on lees with no racking and then no fining or filtering at bottling. It’s a super concentrated expression of the dark fruits of McLaren Vale with a light sprinkling of herbs and spices and a dollop of dark chocolate with dry savoury tannins to close.
