d’Arenberg The Noble Wrinkled Riesling 2010

Uncomplicated but very luscious and generous, this unctuous, sweet and intensely flavoured young dessert riesling has a pure, concentrated bouquet of lemon rind, pear and apple backed by a hint of brioche. Thereƕs no botrytis in sight, but the palate is long, smooth and delicious, with pleasing movement towards a finish of freshness and clarity.

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 RhƓne 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 RhƓne 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.
