It is in homage to the french iconic novelist Françoise Sagan that we created Marinette, a perfect embodiment of these wines of pleasure, celebration, friendship, ideal for a day at the beach or a winter evening by the fireside. These beverages also reflect their creators: Caroline, a specialized oenologist with expertise in the wines and secret terroirs of Provence, and Romain, a wine technician, amateur botanist, and lover of the Mediterranean scrubland. They joined forces to craft committed and truly engaging wines! Pale, clear, brilliant colour. An explosive bouquet of fresh raspberries, citrus fruit, passion fruit and white peaches. On the palate, a sensation of intense freshness mixed with infinite smoothness and sweetness. The saline finish is reminiscent of sea spray and immediately calls for another glass.

Black cherry, raspberry, honey nougat, liquorice, and a hint of orange peel on the nose

Crafted from two unique McLaren Vale vineyards as our celebration of Grenache - 1947 planted Grenache bush vines growing in deep sand and 1990 planted single-wire trellised vines.Medium deep, dark cherry in colour. Lifting fragrant aromas of strawberry/raspberry jujube, rose petal, lavender, cinnamon and star anise. Flavours of dark cherry, pomegranate and chocolate earth flow through the medium weight palate. Fine tannins and natural acidity focus the fruit into the moreish, savoury finish.

Devil's Vine is one hell of a wine. This devilish drop is approachable yet complex, juicy yet smooth and intensely satisfying. This wine has lifted raspberry, red cherry and complex earthy notes. A juicy and generous palate of red and black fruit complimented by chocolate, musk, aniseed with hints of leather.

The words "I am a true vine" feature within the ornate design of our iconic stained glass window. This scripture follows with "my father is a vinedresser", which inspires this tribute to the wonderful grape growers of McLaren Vale. The Vinedresser Grenache is a succulent wine. Small berries with thick skins deliver bright fruit flavours and abundant silky tannins.

Grenache has always been a cornerstone of d'Arenberg's red wines and this is one of the benchmarks of the variety. Produced from old low yielding vines it is a wine of great character and intensity. Showing none of the sickly confectionery characters that can plague this variety, it's all about elegant, savoury spice.

The signature Thistledown lifted aromatics are present but the palate offers more sinew and spice than those from McLaren Vale. Textural, almost chewy but polished dark cherry, mineral and warm spices carry through to a finish of incredible length.

A wine with the pizzazz of a unicorn, but the serious expression of a rhino it will charge the palate with a surprising blend of blackberry and mulberry with a touch of savoury spice, dazzling not just to the eye but to every sense.
