✨ Technical Specifications

Named after the distinctive iron-rich, red-colored clay soils found throughout South Australia, d'Arenberg's Red Ochre is an approachable, vibrant red blend that captures the sun-drenched warmth of the region. This wine pays homage to the ancient geology of McLaren Vale and the surrounding areas, where ochre has been used for thousands of years in traditional Aboriginal art. Crafted using traditional d'Arenberg methods, including gentle basket pressing, this blend of Shiraz and Grenache is designed to be fruit-forward, soft, and immediately appealing. It showcases bright red berry fruits, subtle spice, and a smooth, earthy undertone that reflects its namesake soils.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in 1912 by Joseph Osborn, d'Arenberg has grown into one of McLaren Vale's most iconic and storied family-owned estates in South Australia. Under the visionary stewardship of fourth-generation winemaker Chester Osborn, the winery adheres strictly to traditional, sustainable methods, utilizing certified organic and biodynamic viticulture along with foot-treading and basket pressing. Renowned for its eclectic naming conventions and distinctive red-stripe label, the estate crafts a wide spectrum of expressive wines with a particular mastery of RhΓ΄ne varieties, old-vine Grenache, and robust Shiraz. Signature bottlings such as 'The Dead Arm Shiraz' and 'The Ironstone Pressings' stand as benchmarks of regional depth, complexity, and age-worthy character.
