dArenberg's founder, Joseph Osborn, owned several successful racehorses, and "Footbolt" was the pride of his stable. Then he made the tough decision to sell the animals in order to be able to purchase dArenberg. The elegant Shiraz wine "The Footbolt" produces mild yet full flavors with lots of dark fruit, spices, barriquar aromas, licorice, and graphite the nose.
