d'ArenbergThe Custodian Grenache
About this product
Grenache has always been a cornerstone of d'Arenberg's red wines and this is one of the benchmarks of the variety. Produced from old low yielding vines it is a wine of great character and intensity. Showing none of the sickly confectionery characters that can plague this variety, it's all about elegant, savoury spice.

A youthful rendition with savoury tones rather than just fruit flavours. There's a suppleness across the fuller-bodied palate with ripe tannins and plenty of enjoyment especially at this price.

An excellent release. It's flush with fruit but it crackles with savouriness and finishes with a firm handshake of tannin. Redcurrant into blueberry, clove into cedar-spice, everything in balance. Value speaks for itself.
