This is the oldest wine released annually by d'Arenberg. It is only available in small quantities due to the amount that evaporates into the atmosphere over time, known as "the angel's share." The centerpiece of the label is a coat of arms with the original d'Arenberg emblem, created by d'Arenberg Osborn in 1959 when he first released wine with the red stripe.
A special blend from the d'Arenberg winery
In 1912, Joseph Osborn purchased several established vineyards planted in the previous century. Cellars were built in 1928, and the wine was sold throughout the country. In the late 1950s, d'Arry Osborn took control of the winery. His enormous flair and focus on quality brought considerable recognition to the d'Arenberg winery, one of the first cult wines on the Australian market. The distinctive color scheme—a diagonal red stripe—gave the brand a significant boost in the market. By maintaining an emphasis on traditional winemaking and nurturing their old vines, the Osborn clan successfully established itself as one of the leading producers of concentrated wines with character. The Nostalgia is blended to an average age of over 15 years and consists of up to 40 different fortified wines matured in old oak, primarily Grenache and Shiraz. After careful blending, the wine is bottled in small batches to preserve its complexity, freshness, intensity, and opulence. Every two years, small amounts of Grenache and occasionally Shiraz are fortified to add more young material, ensuring a small and consistent supply when introduced into the final blend.The seductive scents of d'Arenberg Nostalgia Rare Tawny
The Rare Tawny offers enticing aromas of red fruit and raisins, along with toasted notes of caramel, coffee, and dark chocolate. On the palate, this fortified wine boasts complex oak and fruit aromas, perfectly underscored by a lively, sparkling texture. The exquisite balance between freshness and age harmonizes perfectly with the expressive sweetness. The finish is pleasantly long.Product details
