✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the historic vineyard block planted in the late 19th century, 'The High Trellis' pays homage to a pioneering viticultural practice in McLaren Vale. At a time when most vines in the region were grown as low bush vines, these Cabernet Sauvignon vines were among the first to be trained on an elevated trellis system to maximize sun exposure and air circulation. This classic McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted using traditional methods, including gentle crushing, fermentation in open-topped fermenters, and basket pressing. It showcases the region's signature rich, dark fruit profile, structured tannins, and a subtle herbaceous complexity, reflecting the unique maritime-influenced terroir of the estate's ancient 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 Rhône 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.
