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.
