This wine is named in honour of d’Arenberg’s principal, Francis d’Arenberg Osborn, universally known as d’Arry. d’Arry’s Original – called d’Arry’s Burgundy in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s ( in the days when medium bodied red wines with a soft finish were always called Burgundy) has always been made from Shiraz and Grenache, the backbone varieties of McLaren Vale, grown on d’Arenberg’s low-yielding, 19th century vineyards.
d’Arry’s Original is very much a traditional style of wine, being rich, lucious and opulently soft and very much an expression of terroir and variety which ages spectacularly. The final blend varies from year to year in an effort to maintain the well-established hallmarks of d’Arry’s Original.
