Durif, The Barkly, - 2003 - Campbells Wines
Ref: A202403
The bouquet is lifted by ripe blackcurrant fruit with hints of dusty spice and coconut. On the palate it is mouthfilling with a dense inky fruit flavour combined with lively and fresh, firm fruit tannins, resulting in great length.

The 2003 Barkly is a wine that will reward cellaring for a further five to ten years. The natural tannins will soften and allow intriguing development and a complex and mellow integration of fruit and oak.

John Campbell, a Scotsman, who arrived in Australia in the 1860's, established the Campbell's winery in 1870. The venture thrived and by 1885 he had 38 acres planted to vines. However phylloxera, the scourge of wine producers was, at this time, wreaking havoc all over the vineyards of the world. The insect did not ignore the Rutherglen vineyards so John and his son David set about an ambitious replanting programme. In 1933 David died as a result of serious injuries sustained in a fall and his son Allen, just 18 years old took over the reins. From the 30's to the 60's development continued but in 1961, due to Allen's ill health, his sons Malcolm and Colin took over the running of the estate. The two brothers have pursued an uncompromising goal of quality in all aspects of viticulture and winemaking. This vision has been rewarded with numerous accolades for their table wines and of course, the famous sticky wines of Rutherglen.
