  • Laughing Magpie is an Australian take on a famed blend from the Rhone Valley
  • D'Arenberg's red wine blend is super concentrated and mouth-filling, with the Shiraz bringing cassis, liquorice and chocolate flavours and the Viognier adding perfume and body
  • Full-bodied, rich, and structured wine lends itself well to big and powerful dishes

Brief Description

 

Tasting Notes

D'Arenberg Laughing Magpie gives predominantly a mouthful of black plum, earth and spice, with a pleasing hit of black olive, sage and dried herbs adding complexity on the finish.

About

With vineyards in the McLaren Vale of South Australia, D'Arenburg have blended Shiraz with Viognier to create a lovely, textured red wine blend.

In making the wine small batches of grapes are gently crushed and then transferred to open fermenters, where the Viognier and Shiraz are co-fermented.

Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation, the wine is basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of old French and American oak to complete fermentation and mature.

The barrel ferments are aged on lees, there is no racking until final blending and no fining or filtration.

Ideal with...

Barbecued meats, steaks, rich meat dishes.
