✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Twenty Eight Road Mourvèdre is named after the historic boundary road that runs alongside the vineyard where these prized grapes are grown. Historically in Australia, Mourvèdre (often known as Mataro) was utilized primarily for fortified wines or as a blending component. d'Arenberg was among the pioneers to elevate it to a single-varietal showcase. Sourced from low-yielding, dry-grown vines in the maritime climate of McLaren Vale, the fruit undergoes traditional foot-treading in open fermenters and is basket-pressed before aging in seasoned French and American oak barriques. This hands-on, old-school methodology preserves the grape's wild, rustic character, yielding a wine rich in dark berries, earthy spices, and savory complexity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
d'Arenberg blev grundlagt i 1912 af Joseph Osborn og har siden udviklet sig til en af McLaren Vales mest ikoniske og traditionsrige familieejede vingårde i South Australia. Under ledelse af fjerdegenerations-vinmageren Chester Osborn arbejder vinhuset kompromisløst efter bæredygtige og traditionelle metoder, herunder certificeret økologisk og biodynamisk vindyrkning, fodtrædning af druerne samt kurvepresning. Vingården er berømt for sine finurlige vinenavne og den karakteristiske røde stribe på etiketten, og porteføljen spænder over en bred vifte af udtryksfulde vine med særligt fokus på Rhône-sorter, gamle Grenache-stokke og kraftfuld Shiraz. Signaturvine som 'The Dead Arm Shiraz' og 'The Ironstone Pressings' regnes i dag for absolutte milepæle, der forener regional dybde, kompleksitet og et fremragende lagringspotentiale.
