d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz 2019

The South Australian “The Dead Arm Shiraz” from d'Arenberg is a remarkable wine in many ways. The bouquet is seductive, with earthy notes and flavors of dark fruit, fennel and spicy nuances. With time, notes of sweet berries and forest floor unfold. 18 months this exceptional Shiraz matured in French and American oak barrels. On the palate the wine from the famous growing region of McLaren Vale, 35 kilometres south of Adelaide, is dense and concentrated. Aromas of plum, blackberry, mulberry and black olives as well as hints of pepper and earthy notes give a wonderful taste experience. The tannins are integrated wonderfully. The wine has a looooong finish - a pleasure that never seems to end. Complex and hearty. Dead Arm is a vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata that randomly affects vineyards all over the world. One half, or an ‘arm’ of the vine slowly becomes reduced to dead wood. Although this results in a lower yield, the grapes on the healthy arm offer an amazing intensity. The Dead Arm Shiraz - an impressive varietal Shiraz..

d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz 2022

The pretty nose is very floral with violets, lavender and rose water dancing with the more varietal purple fruits and a touch of cedar adds charming spice.The palate opens with varietal bravado and a mixture of red and purple fruits. Raspberry, blueberry and plum make way for a regional mocha character and an extra layer of complexity that includes graphite and roasted meats. It finishes with a cinnamon spicy lift and fresh, fine grain powdery tannins. Ripeness is well in check and the acid keeps the fresh and juicy palate focused.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’. When this became common practice it was altered to honour a racehorse that changed the Osborn family forever. The founder of d’Arenberg, Joseph Osborn was a successful racehorse owner and Footbolt was the pride of his stable. In 1912 he made the hard decision to sell his stable of horses to start d’Arenberg, so it is only fitting they pay homage to Joseph and his prize horse, Footbolt.

De Grendel Amandelboord Pinotage 2022

De Grendel Amandelboord Pinotage is a characterful yet elegant red wine from the renowned Durbanville region near Cape Town, where De Grendel's vineyards benefit from the cool maritime influence of Table Bay. This wine was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the De Grendel winery and is a tribute to Sir De Villiers Graaff's grandfather, the 2nd Baronet, whose favorite grape variety was Pinotage - especially from the cool hillside vineyards of Durbanville.The name Amandelboord ("almond orchard") recalls the gentle rides that the young De Villiers once took with his grandfather through the estate's almond groves. Back then, the scent of almond blossom mingled with the fresh sea breeze from Table Bay. Today, the Pinotage vines grow exactly where the almond trees once stood - an emotional and terroir-related connection between past and present.The grapes are harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning to preserve freshness and aromas. After destemming, open fermentation takes place, accompanied by pneumatic punch-downs four times a day to gently extract color, structure and aromas. The wine is then basket-pressed and undergoes malolactic fermentation in the tank. Once completed, the Amandelboord Pinotage matures for 12 months in 225-liter barriques made from a combination of French and American oak, using 12% new wood - enough to add depth and spice without overpowering the fruit.In the glass, the wine is a deep ruby red. The bouquet is elegant and complex, characterized by dark cherries, ripe plums and spicy notes, complemented by subtle hints of spices and subtle wood. On the palate, the Amandelboord Pinotage is full-bodied and balanced, with supple tannins, clear fruit and a fine, structured freshness. The finish is long, harmonious and refined, with depth and elegance.A Pinotage with provenance, history and character that is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat, lamb, game dishes or spicy, hearty dishes and impressively demonstrates how finely and stylishly this grape variety can be interpreted.
