Country: Australia / The Fruit Bat Single Vineyard
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / McLaren Vale
Full bodied and supple, this is one of the more opulent and open of d’Arenberg’s array of single-vineyard wines. Notes of vanilla, maple syrup and bramble berries mark the nose, while the flavors add cassis and tobacco elements. It’s a pretty, fleshy wine for drinking now–2020, although it may age well even past that.
