d'Arenberg 2020 "The Love Grass" Shiraz

Tasting Notes

This vintage shows the characteristic power of McLaren Vale, leading with a concentrated nose of blackberry, mulberry, and dark plum, accented by signature notes of cracked black pepper, licorice, and anise. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and compact, offering a dense core of dark fruit supported by firm, savory tannins that reflect the traditional basket-pressing and foot-treading methods used at the estate. Nuances of earthy charcoal, ash, and lead pencil add a sophisticated savory layer to the rich fruit profile. While it is approachable now with its plush texture and vibrant acidity, the structured finish and mineral-flecked depth suggest it will continue to soften and evolve beautifully over the next decade.
