D’Arenberg The Custodian Grenache 2021
AU$22
D’Arenberg The Custodian Grenache 2021 is the best value wine in the d’Arenberg range this year. Full price is $22 but it can often be found at $17. It’s a mid-weight wine with sweet raspberried fruit flavour, edges of saltbush and just enough tannin to make it feel rugged, in a good way. It’ll never be a stunning wine but it’s definitely good value.
