TASTING NOTES:

The Custodian Grenache from d’Arenberg Wines displays a bright crimson colour. The perfumed nose is dominated by fresh cherry, pomegranate and raspberry aromas, with light hints of coal dust, cracked fennel seed, and black earth evident in the backdrop. This dazzling Grenache is focused and luscious on the palate, brimming with intense flavours of red fruits, blackberries and Kalamata olives. These vibrant characters are supported by tight rhubarb acidity and structured tannins, which eventually pave the way to a long and lingering finish. This delightful red wine tastes amazing with beef cheeks, cured meats and cheese platters.
