d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz Magnum

Dead Arm is a vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata that randomly affects vineyards all over the world. Often affected vines are severely pruned or replanted. One half, or an 'arm' of the vine slowly becomes reduced to dead wood. That side may be lifeless and brittle, but the grapes on the other side, while low yielding, display amazing intensity.

An Aussie icon - initial hit of savoury earthy notes, shiitake mushrooms. Once the wine has time to breathe, sweet black fruits are in abundance. On the palate, blackberry and plum with woody and umami flavours. Rich but well rounded with good tannin structure.
