d'Arenberg The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier McLaren Vale 2019

$2499

The Laughing Magpie takes the classic Northern Rhone trick of co-fermenting Shiraz with a splash of Viognier, a nod to Cote-Rotie, and applies it to McLaren Vale fruit. It's mostly Shiraz (around 94%) with the Viognier lifting the aromatics and adding silk. d'Arenberg is a fourth-generation South Australian estate run by the inventive Chester Osborn, who favors old vines and traditional basket pressing. The 2019 is darkly perfumed and savory, with violets winding through the dark fruit. Decant it and pour with grilled or roasted meats.
