D'ARENBERG, Custodian, 6x75cl

🍷 d’Arenberg – The Custodian Grenache: Silken, Spiced, and Seriously Satisfying 🇦🇺
Australia, McLaren Vale | Grenache

Elegant yet deeply expressive, The Custodian is d’Arenberg’s tribute to the beauty and complexity of old-vine Grenache. This is a red that weaves juicy fruit with spice and savoury charm, offering a velvet-like mouthfeel and a graceful, layered finish.

🍇 Lush, Spiced & Velvety Smooth:
The nose opens with vibrant mulberry, blueberry, and plum—pure and inviting. As the wine breathes, deeper notes emerge: aniseed, fennel, and coriander seed adding nuance and intrigue. On the palate, it’s warm and juicy, with sweet and savoury fruit wrapped in fine, silky tannins. The finish is long and polished, with whispers of cedar, baking spice, and earthy complexity.

🌿 A Jewel from Old McLaren Vale Vines:
Named for d’Arenberg’s commitment to preserving Grenache vines when others were pulling them up, The Custodian is a testament to tradition, balance, and the enduring potential of this noble grape.

🍽️ Perfect with Rich, Savoury Dishes:
Pair with sticky spareribs, duck confit, or hearty stews. It also sings with garlicky roasts and slow-cooked Mediterranean fare.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
The Custodian is Grenache at its most graceful—vibrant, textural, and beautifully balanced. For lovers of reds that are plush yet complex, spiced yet fruity, this is pure liquid velvet in a glass.
