Intensely rich and concentrated, the Durif of Rutherglen are renowned throughout the world of wine for their varietal purity, eloquence and articulation of place. Crafted from the fruit of ancient quarantined vineyards, vinified on skins over the course of a week, followed by an extended eighteen months in a selection of well seasoned French and American Puncheons. Deep, brooding bouquets of dark, chocolatey plum fruit, its crisp bramble acidity and drying, black olive savouryness over a lengthy course of bold, ubiquitious, gripping tannins.
