d'ArenbergThe Dead Arm Shiraz 2005
About this product
d'Arenberg's the Dead Arm Shiraz is named after a vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata which causes one half or an 'arm' of the vine to turn into dead wood. These 'Dead Arms' are pruned back hard, while the other arm of the vine is low yielding but far more intense. This Shiraz is a wine of enormous power, intensity and real complexity - an absolute must for any serious wine cellar and d'Arenberg lover. One of the flagships for McLaren Vale for many years, this wine continues to shine with a balanced between tradition and Chester Osborne driven innovation.
