We all know the expression about dangling a carrot in front of someone. But what if this entire case of wine is ‘carrots’ so to speak? We’re talking about d’Arenberg after all, a star-studded McLaren Vale producer

Why do we love this case?
All you can really do is dangle an even bigger carrot. So that’s what we did. You’ll get 5 bottles of The Wild Pixie shiraz, probably enough reason in itself to grab a case. But why stop there? We’ve added the ultimate carrot, a bottle of The Ironstone Pressings GSM, which is nothing short of a showstopper. All carrots, no sticks...that’s how we roll.
Included in this case:
1x d'Arenberg The Ironstone Pressings GSM 2018
Red — GSM
McLaren Vale — Australia
If you ask us, GSM blends are where the truly great stuff is at. The precision to which this wine comes together is something to gawk at, especially when you consider the fantastic producers who call this wine their own. There’s notable care taken to produce this wine from vine to bottle. Parcels are kept separate for quality control until they’re about to make it to bottling. Good ol’ foot-treading and basket pressing gives this wine rustic power from the extraction of all the morsels of goodness. There’s a light side from the floral bouquet, awash with notes of orange, mulberry, and redcurrant. But then the palate delivers the power and ageing potential that you really crave- one of those moments you can savour forever. Or, at least until the bottle’s gone.
You'd pay $78 full price.

Tasting Notes
5x d'Arenberg The Wild Pixie Shiraz 2019
Red — Shiraz
McLaren Vale — Australia
A tried and true Mofo fav. We love this wine for many reasons, but most of all it’s the way it jumps out of the glass. A potent elixir of vibrant red cherries and blue plums. A swirl of raspberry and liquorice. Dusky, earthy savouriness and piney cedar wood chime in late and usher the fruit along. Its one of those wines you’re reluctant to drink because there is so much joy to be had in just smelling it. On the palate herbaceous black currant leaf and herbal tea flank what is a powerful fruit core. Dark berry compote and quince dominate. Fresh and bright acidity (aided, in part, by the splash of roussanne that’s added to the ferment) gather and drive the fruit density through a long, lasting finish. As far as the Wild Pixie is concerned, this is the best incarnation yet.
You'd pay $32 full price.
