D'Arenberg The Derelict Vineyard Grenache 2019

The 2019 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache from d'Arenberg offers a vivid glimpse into McLaren Vale’s heritage. Derived from century-old, low-yielding Grenache vines, this wine embodies resilience and tradition, delivering a deep ruby colour and a complex bouquet. Aromas of blueberry and plum unfold with licorice, savory spices and earthy minerality, leading to a full-bodied palate that feels lush and powerful. Balanced by lively acidity and refined tannins, it finishes long and persistent. At 15.0% alcohol, the wine is bold yet food-friendly, pairing well with grilled meats, herb-crusted lamb and rich stews. It is best enjoyed at a cool room temperature to appreciate its layered fruit and spice, and can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5–8 years to permit further development. Contains sulphites and is suitable for vegetarians. Always enjoy responsibly.

Since 1912, the Osborn family have grown grapes and made wine in McLaren Vale, with Chester Osborn guiding winemaking today, reflecting four generations of care in the region.
