The Blind Tiger Shiraz

d'Arenberg The Blind Tiger Shiraz is sourced from a McLaren Vale vineyard planted in the 1920s, a time of speakeasy clubs like The Blind Tiger that thrived during prohibition.

Small batches of fruit are gently crushed and transferred to open fermenters. The batches remain separate until final blending. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation.

The wine is basket pressed to new and seasoned French and American oak to complete the ferment. It ages on lees for 20 months. There is no racking until final blending, and no fining or filtration.

Dark cherry, d'Arenberg The Blind Tiger Shiraz is dense with generous red fruit characters, waves of dusty tannins and a chewy texture. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
