D'ARENBERG THE DEAD ARM SHIRAZ
d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz is a renowned red wine produced by d'Arenberg Winery, located in McLaren Vale, South Australia. It is an iconic and highly acclaimed wine known for its exceptional quality and distinct characteristics.
The "Dead Arm" refers to a vine disease called Eutypa Lata which affects grapevines, resulting in one arm of the vine becoming "dead" or non-productive while the other arm continues to yield grapes of exceptional intensity and concentration. This phenomenon leads to a smaller, more concentrated crop, resulting in a wine that is deeply rich and full-bodied.
