d’Arenberg The Cadenzia Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2008

Beautifully made, this charmingly rustic and elegant wine should develop some delightful complexity. Its floral perfume of musky spices, violets and rose garden is underpinned by deep scents of blueberries and redcurrants, with faint earthy and meaty undertones. Smooth and silky, with vibrant fruit underpinned by a gentle, almost caressing spine of fine tannins, it finishes with good but not exceptional length, and a fresh, but soft 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.
