D Arenberg Vintage Fortified Shiraz 50cl 2021 50cl

From d'Arenberg, this 2021 vintage fortified wine is a Shiraz-based expression with a long-established lineage dating back to the first declared vintage in 1928. The grapes come from old vines, including those that contributed to the original release, bringing depth and concentration to the wine.

The nose opens with blackberry, blueberry and Middle Eastern saffron spice, followed by dusty, earthy notes, aniseed and black olive. On the palate, it mirrors that character closely, with a mouth-filling, generous feel and a finish that is not overtly sweet. Built for patience, this is a bottle suited to cellaring.
