2007 d'Arenberg Love Grass, A McLaren Vale Veteran from One of Australia's Most Storied Estates

The 2007 d'Arenberg Love Grass Shiraz is a 18-year-old McLaren Vale Shiraz from one of Australia's most characterful family estates, drinking superbly at full maturity.

My Wine Man on d'Arenberg

d'Arenberg has been farming McLaren Vale since 1912, five generations of bold, unconventional winemaking from one of Australia's most characterful family estates. Love Grass is a single-vineyard Shiraz drawn from the d'Arenberg estate.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet shading toward brick. Dark plum, leather, tobacco, dried herbs, dark chocolate and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with fully integrated tannins and a long, complex finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with integrated tannins. Drinking magnificently now at peak maturity. Decant 30 minutes. Drink within 5-7 years.

Food Pairing

An 18-year-old McLaren Vale Shiraz at peak maturity deserves the finest match. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man, dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Love Grass's leather, tobacco and seamless mature complexity.
