D’Arenberg The Innocent Weed GMS

The palate is bright, juicy, and wonderfully lifted, opening with raspberry, red cherry, and cranberry from the Grenache before Shiraz adds plum, mulberry, and gentle mid‑palate plushness. Mourvèdre brings a subtle earthy, spicy backbone, giving the wine shape without heaviness. Acidity is fresh and lively, keeping the red‑berry fruit taut, while tannins are fine, soft, and lightly rustic, in classic d’Arenberg fashion. Notes of white pepper, dried herbs, and a hint of licorice add savoury complexity. The finish is long, red‑fruited, and spice‑laced, carrying a clean mineral edge and an easy, joyful drinkability that suits the wine’s playful name.
