D'Arenberg The Dead Arm is a famous, prestigious and expensive Australian wine, made from the Shiraz grape. It is one of the greatest wines of Australia.

The name Dead Arm comes from the disease Eutypa Lata which is common in many older vineyards. Eutypa Lata causes grape Canker which slowly kills one of the branches of a vine. This reduces the yield of the vine and intensifies the flavor. The grapes for D'Arenberg Dead Arm come from these vines in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia.
