d'Arenberg The Olive Grove Chardonnay

The nose is aromatic, enriched with white flowers, tropical fruits, apples (Granny Smith) and nectarines.

The palate has considerable weight with a lovely mid palate of peach, lime and a hint of brioche. Zesty acidity leads to a long zesty finish on the palate with a hint of cashew nut, and faint, fine textured tannin. The cool year is reflected in the balanced, delicate flavors of the McLaren Vale fruit.

A small portion of The Olive Grove Chardonnay underwent natural fermentation and batonnage for added complexity and mouthfeel. Maturation took place in a mixture of new and used French and used American barrels and stainless steel tanks. None of d'Arenberg's white wines undergo malolactic fermentation, as the retention of fresh, natural acidity is considered an integral part of the wine's balance and longevity.

d’Arenberg Wines

D'Arenberg ist eines der bedeutendsten Weingüter in McLaren Vale. Es befindet sich etwa 35 Kilometer südlich von Adelaide in Australien. 1912 kaufte Joseph Osborn die etablierten Milton Vineyards in den Hügeln nördlich von den Townships von Gloucester und Bellevue, die heute als McLaren Vale bekannt sind.

Seit 1984 leitet Chester d' Arenberg Osborn in vierter Generation als Winemaker den Keller von d’Arenberg.

Das Klima rund um die d’Arenberg Lagen ist gemäßigt mediterran mit kühlen und feuchten Wintern, sowie langen, warmen und trockenen Sommerperioden. Es bietet ideale Bedingungen für außergewöhnliche Weine. Die Weinanbauregion liegt auf der Höhe vom Meeresspiegel und steigt bis auf etwa 220 Meter im Norden an. Hervorragende Ergebnisse bringen beispielsweise bei d'Arenberg die Rebsorten Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Merlot für Rotweine sowie Chardonnay Trauben und sogar Riesling für Weißweine.

Product recommendation

19 Crimes Chard „Behind Bars“
The wines of the "19 Crimes" line recall people convicted of at least one of nineteen crimes in Britain who were exiled to Australia instead of being sentenced to death. In many cases, those who survived the journey across the seas built a new life there, thus becoming part of a newly emerging country.The "Hard Chard Behind Bars" commemorates the courageous actions of the women who were among the exiled as well. The Chardonnay from South Australia is powerful, showing lots of character. On the nose, it offers noticeable wood aromas. The multi-layered bouquet is complemented by aromas of stone fruit and ripe fruit, along with toasted oak notes and nuances of butterscotch and honey. The golden Chardonnay is structured and creamy. Its finish is enriched by notes of butter and vanilla.

d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz
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.
