Shiraz d'Arenberg (SA) The Footbolt 14,2%

0,75l Flasche

The nose of this wine initially displays an enticing mix of red and black fruits: mulberries, ripe raspberries and blackberries. Complexity is built through the layers of exotic spice that support this fruit. Nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and anise are all evident. And of course, it wouldn’t be The Footbolt without that generous lick of d’Arenberg earth and game.

On the palate the wine is rich, concentrated and generous. There is an intrinsic warmth to this wine. The dark plummy fruit, leather and cedar notes are inviting, but it is the soil-like tannins with a hint of chewiness that pull it all together for a long, gratifying finish. The Footbolt Shiraz has proven to cellar well for at least a decade. The minimal intervention methods of the winemaker sometimes result in a harmless deposit in or adhering to the bottle. Decanting prior to serving is recommended to get the most enjoyment from this wine.
