Old, extremely low-yielding McLaren Vale vines are responsible for d'Arenberg's The Dead Arm Shiraz; one of McLaren Vale's flagship red wines. A wine famous for its enormous power, intensity and complexity.
The 2017 d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz is another superb example of McLaren Vale Shiraz that was awarded 'Wine of the Year' at the 2020 London Wine Competition.
This iconic wine always displays the power and intensity of McLaren Vale Shiraz, yet has an elegance and refinement that few other wines from the region possess. It’s vibrant and lifted on the nose with bustling red fruits and savoury spice. The palate is long, linear and pure with tightly wound tannin and mouth-watering acidity. Beneath the layers of blueberry, pomegranate and Satsuma Plum is an intriguing core of earth and crushed rocks. If stored correctly, this wine should age for 15+ years.
