Durif was first planted in the famous Rutherglen wine region in 1908, which means the variety is having a very special birthday this year, its one hundredth year.

The Barkly Durif...Rutherglen's best?
|
Wednesday 5th September 2007
|
|
|
Campbells and Durif are two names synonymous with Rutherglen. The Barkly Durif is Campbells' best Durif, and in my opinion their best dry table wine, possibly the regions.

Campbells amongst the best!

I came across this wine while in Rutherglen a few weeks back and loved it. Sadly it’s only available from Cellar Door, but it’s still worth reviewing as not many wineries in Australia make a Trebbiano this well.

Rutherglen Tokay can sometimes be shunned for its richer more intense Muscat brother. Don’t make this mistake. Tokay shows a little more refinement and class, and Campbells’ characteristic tealeaf flavoured entry level Rutherglen Tokay is the best va

2004 Bobbie Burns Shiraz - excellent 35th vintage of this classic
|
Wednesday 6th December 2006
|
|
|
The 35th vintage of this Rutherglen classic is an excellent example and one you can tuck away in the cellar. A shiraz with aromas of allspice and dark plum on the nose, it offers a firm, structured palate. All in all, a winning table wine.

Rich and robust, this shows intense dark berry fruit on the nose and palate with spice and liquorice and firm tannins on the finish. Try it now with rare steak or cellar for five years plus. Rating 90/100

Lovers of big reds rejoice! This is a cracker – full of deep, dark fruit flavours and held together with firm grippy tannins. There’s also some more sophisticated savoury toast and spice characteristics too.

A really perfumed, fresh, crisp white with floral notes, citrus, white peach and an orange muscat character. The grapes had some skin contact,, which adds complexity and phenolic texture to this easy-drinking wine.
