Description
A powerful and rich, full bodied wine, with ripe black plums at the forefront to fill the mouth. Smooth mid palate weight, warm spice and chocolate/mocha oak integration. Balance is provided by grippy fine tannins typical of Durif. Paraphrasing Napoleon - this Durif is an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove.

Rutherglen Durif, made from the original Durif of Rutherglen clone, is a rare variety that flourishes in Rutherglen. Durif is renowned for its powerful tannins and usually requires some bottle age prior to drinking. However, the Rutherglen Durif has been carefully nurtured, through the use of sophisticated winemaking techniques, to produce a wine able to be enjoyed while young or after cellaring for 5-8 years.
Delicious to enjoy with full-flavoured chargrilled meats, rib eye.
