Ageing
18 months in 100% 500L French oak barrels, using 20% new oak.
Tasting Notes
Fragrant blueberry, red cherry, and a hint of floral perfume open up to reveal fresh plum with layered sweet and savoury spices. The complex fruit flavours follow on the palate with fine but grippy tannins and a fresh fruity acidity. Typical spiciness is layered and complex - cardamom, fennel, black pepper, nutmeg and clove, with the delicate use of oak complimenting the spiciness. Refined yet powerful with a lingering fruity finish.
"d'Arenberg's flagship is The Dead Arm Shiraz. Opaque purple-colored, the nose is reticent but gives up aromas of meat, bacon, game, truffles, blueberry, and blackberry. Firm, layered, and complex, this beautifully rendered Shiraz demands a decade of cellaring. It will be superb from 2018 to 2036.

Wijn Regio: Franschhoek
Druiven : 55% Cab Sauv, 25% Merlot, 15% Shiraz en 5% Grenache
Een elegante en gestructureerde wijn; zeer intense aroma's van bosvruchten, zoethout, cederhout en kruidnagel in de neus; mokka-chocolade, rode bessen, fruitige en kruidige smaak. Veel body en lekker lange afdronk
De geselecteerde druiven, afkomstig van de ongerepte teeltgebieden van Franschhoek, werden met de hand gesorteerd voordat ze werden geplet. Gedurende 4 dagen werden ze geweekt om de kleur en het fruitpotentieel te optimaliseren alvorens de druiven gefermenteerd werden in een tank met een temperatuur die tot 28 ° C bereikte. De na-gisting duurde ongeveer 2 weken. De malolactische gisting gebeurde gedurende 14 maanden op vaten van oude Franse eik waarvan 60% nieuwe eik.
De wijn heeft een alcoholgehalte van 14,8%.
Deze topwijn scoorde maar liefst 4 sterren (Platter gids)
The Proprietors blend is once again impressive and serious in 2016.
Medium to full-bodied, it is strewn with black fruits, exotic spice and chards of dark chocolate. Sweet spicy oak melts into a dense, powerfully-fruited and structured core. The majority Cabernet Sauvignon gives a cassis purity and salty edge, while the Shiraz component adds a meaty, savoury and spicy edge.
The blend is rounded off by the remaining Bordeaux cultivars in a complexity explosion from start to finish. It is exquisitely textured and finely tuned, the 2016 will open up over the next 5 years and age for a decade or more.
