d’Arenberg The Cadenzia Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2009
Fine, savoury and restrained, with a scent of red flowers, baked earth and redcurrants backed by nuances of blackberries, prunes, fresh spices and bitumen. Long and juicy, medium in weight, its fresh dark fruit knits tightly with a fine mouthwatering astringency, finishing with a racy acidity.

Winery
d'Arenberg
d'Arenberg is surely one of the planet's largest makers of quality grenache-based red wine. Based in McLaren Vale, a region fortuitously blessed with large, ancient vineyards of this southern Rhône variety, this idiosyncratic winery somehow manages to make a wider range of wines each year and keep itself at the cutting edge of labelling anti-puffery (viz. The Noble Wrinkled Riesling et al). d'Arenberg's style is to fashion table wines of complexity and rustic charm. This approach is in evidence across a wide range of varieties and blends, with a strong emphasis on southern Rhône combinations. Other wines, such as the Dead Arm Shiraz and the Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon are rather more McLaren Vale and contemporary, although not entirely lacking in winemaker-derived character and complexity.
