This wine is named "The Custodian" because of d'Arry Osborn's stubborn resistance at keeping vineyards planted with Grenache in the 1980s when the grape wasn't very popular, That move has since paid off as producer D'Arenberg now has just about 1/3rd of all old bush vine Grenache plantings left in the McLaren Vale and those vines are responsible for this wine which showcases plenty of character, bright acidity and plenty of fruit balanced by silky tannins.
Pair with wild boar, a mild curry or stew or ravioli,

RobertParker.com Tasting Note - 2017 Vintage
Joe Czerwinski - 89 Points - "A ripe, full-bodied effort, d'Arenberg's 2017 The Custodian Grenache features notes of crushed stone layered over Italian plums and dark chocolate. The tannins are supple, there's ample concentration and the gently dusty finish picks up alluring hints of licorice. It's not the perfumed, less-extracted style that's in vogue at the moment, but it delivers what consumers have come to expect from this label."

This organic white blend of Garnatxa Blanca (White Grenache) and Montonega is produced by Mascorrubi from their estate vineyards. It spends three months in oak before being bottled. Expect notes of fresh apples and peaches, light honey and a dash of oak on this silky but dry white.
