RED WINE
THE IRONSTONE PRESSINGS GRENACHE SHIRAZ
Most of McLaren
Vale’s acclaimed and historic vineyards are impregnated with ancient,
decomposed laterite granite known as ironstone. Its extraordinary rusty
redbrown colour is derived from the iron oxides present in the stone. The
larger pieces were cleared from the vineyards in the late 1880’s and utilised
in many of the buildings at d’Arenberg, most notably the old stables.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fragrant, with intense McLaren Vale Grenache blood orange character, supported with ferrous and iodine notes
Palate: There’s some initial fruit sweetness on the front palate, quickly morphing into a long line of concentrated red fruit and spice. The finish is tangy, with young, crunchy tannins, resulting in a wine with fantastic structure and incredible length.
Grape Varieties: 70% Grenache, 25%
