 Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2018
 McLaren Vale, Grenache (70%) Shiraz (25%) Mourvèdre (5%)
 The Name
 Most of McLaren Vale’s acclaimed and 
historic vineyards are impregnated with 
ancient, decomposed laterite granite known 
as ironstone. Its extraordinary rusty red
brown colour is derived from the iron oxides 
present in the stone. The larger pieces were 
cleared from the vineyards in the late 1880’s 
and utilised in many of the buildings at 
d’Arenberg, most notably the old stables.
 The Vintage
 Quite a wet winter with July, August and 
September being way above average in 
rainfall. October, November and December 
were a little below average and January, 
February and March were more or less 
bone dry. Temperatures were mild until late 
January, so vines seemed to be delayed and 
harvest  appeared like it was again going  
to be late. However, a few hot days and 
nights brought the ripening forward with 
slight sacrifice of acidity. The above average 
temperatures of February and March and 
the dryness made everything ripen relatively 
quickly. Yields appeared on the lighter 
side, because the heat and dry conditions 
did reduce them significantly, however 
they were still quite respectable across all 
varieties.
 The Winemaking
 Small batches of grapes are gently crushed  
and then transferred to five tonne headed 
down open fermenters. These batches 
remain separate until final blending. Foot 
treading is undertaken two thirds of the 
way through fermentation. The wine is then 
basket pressed and transferred to a mixture 
of new and used French oak barriques to 
complete fermentation. The barrel ferments 
are aged on lees, there is no racking until 
final blending and no fining or filtration.

 The Characteristics
 Powerful but elegant. The Ironstone 
Pressings Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre never 
fails to surprise and delight. A dense and 
dark appearance, with a crimson purple 
hue, give promise of a complex yet evolving 
wine. Initially shy on the nose, a few swirls 
let the wine open up and present a beautiful 
bouquet of strawberries, ripe plum, and 
fresh cherries. The more we explore, we 
find some violets and thyme adding further 
intrigue. On the palate there is an amazing 
fusion of red and black fruits that come 
together seamlessly. Plums, mulberries, 
blood orange and an assortment of red 
berries. There’s some freshness thanks to 
a little green capsicum and some Herbs de 
Provence. Silky, rounded tannins bring that 
element of elegance that we were promised. 
This is a delightful McLaren Vale GSM that 
can be enjoyed early in life but will cellar 
beautifully and evolve exceptionally into the 
future.
 Cellaring Potential
 While enjoyable in youth, this wine will 
reach its full potential with bottle age 
up to at least 20 years. The considerable 
structure and depth will ensure that the fruit 
characters will develop over time revealing 
more complexity and providing immense 
interest. This wine is best stored in an 
environment free of direct sunlight and with 
consistent temperatures between 10°C and 
15°C

Good feel and fits well
Size: Medium, Color: Pure Black
It was heavier than I thought but in a good way. It doesn't feel like cheap, lightweight material. I have a problem with the length of sweaters and I have run this through the wash a couple times already and it still is long enough.
