d'Arenberg The Anthropocene Epoch Mencia
$30.99
The 2017 vintages are starting to hit the market, and here's one for you to try, from one of Australia's most beloved producers! 91 points for the 2017 vintage from the Wine Reviewer. And the review: "An attractive, youthful red in the glass. The nose is laced with strawberry, blackberry and plum fruits with a suggestion of spice. The juicy, primary fruited goodness of the nose meets a more savoury, white pepper like tannin structure that gives contrast. The finish is long and drying with fruit shining through with some unsweetened liquorice for good measure." And the wine's name? Here's what the winery has to say about it: "The evidence of humanity's impact on the planet is so overwhelming, experts have recommended the declaration of a new geological time, the Anthropocene Epoch. Starting from 1950, this new age is defined by nuclear tests, plastic pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. Investing in many projects with environmental benefits, d'Arenberg actively seeks to reduce our carbon footprint on the earth."
