D'ArenbergThe Footbolt Shiraz 2012
About this product
Laden with dark cherries, rhubarb, plums and aniseed, complemented by a lick of fine, subtle oak and lifted with a sprinkling of pepper and spice. Generosity of fruit weight, combined with balanced, chewy tannins. What makes this wine stand out in the crowd is its ability to communicate a sense of place through its ethereal, complex and provocative earthy notes. Value, drinkability and ageability. The complete package.

Good colour; a powerful wine, with earthy, savoury overtones to the black fruits and firm tannins; licorice also plays a role in the bouquet and palate. Top stuff for bbq or pizza.
