Drawn from organically farmed vineyards in McLaren Vale, this wine is crafted by d'Arenberg, a family estate known for its traditional techniques and focus on vineyard expression. The Money Spider is made from Roussanne, a Rhône variety that adapts well to the region’s warm climate while retaining structure and aromatic complexity. As part of the estate’s organic range, it reflects a commitment to sustainable viticulture alongside a distinctive varietal focus.
Handling in the winery is deliberately hands-on, with fermentation carried out in small batches and the wine pressed using traditional basket presses. Ageing takes place in a mix of older oak and inert vessels, chosen to build texture while preserving clarity and balance. The resulting style leans toward richness without excess weight, positioned in the mid-tier category as a more characterful and less conventional white wine offering.
