d’Arenberg founder Joseph Osborn was a keen racehorse owner and Footbolt was his pride and joy. And clearly helped put a coin or two in his back pocket given the fact he sold his horses to buy the d’Arenberg property in 1912.
From the 2021 McLaren Vale vintage the fruit was basket pressed and aged for 12-18 months in seasoned French oak – it’s a style the d’Arenberg crew call a “Classic McLaren Vale Shiraz, rich, ripe red berry fruits and great fruit length.”
It scored 90/100 with The Real Review’s Master of Wine Stephen Wong who called it “A vibrantly fruity, spicy and aromatic expression.”
This McLaren Vale number will be hot to trot up to 8-9 years from vintage.
