Wine Summary
Like every d'Arenberg wine, there is a story behind the name... an old shearing shed on the property is home to tiny fruit bats that live in the old hessian wool sacks. <br> As the name suggests, this wine is defined by a high level of sweet fruit. Plums, blackberry and liquorice dominate but flashes of fennel and spice play an integral role. The palate is generous and juicy, succulent cherry and plum with a texture reminiscent of milk chocolate. Super fine grained tannin add seriousness but never dominate ensuring the wine remains immediately drinkable, one may even say, opulent. <br> <i>"More towards medium-bodied, and more accessible as a young wine than its brethren. Ripe, juice-dripping damson plum aromas lead the way, but the bouquet also offers up floral notes of rose perfume and Asian spice. The flavours show some regional earthiness, but there's a lightness of touch which carries it easily along to the lingering, sweet-fruited finish... 96pts"</i> (Halliday).
