Product Notes

d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz is a wonderfully crafted Australian wine with a rich heritage. It presents a vibrant blend of dark fruit flavours interplayed with hints of spice and earthy undertones. Its full-bodied nature beautifully supports a robust structure while the fine, grippy tannins linger perfectly in the long, flavoursome finish. The wine indulges the senses with a bouquet of opulent plum, blackberry and blackcurrant notes. These intricacies denote a careful maturation in French and American oak for added complexity. It's ideal for those who appreciate intense, fruit-driven red wine styles, making for a formidable partner to rich meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Earthy, spicy Shiraz from McLaren Vale in South Australia, full of black plums, liquorice and black pepper, with a peaty underlayer of mushroom, pipe tobacco and charcuterie.
