The Barkly Durif 2018 Tasting NoteWine Making
The 2018 release is an excellent example of what we strive to achieve with this iconic Rutherglen variety. Select parcels of premium fruit were fermented on skins in closed fermenters for ten days and aged in new to 3 year old French puncheons for 27 months.
Cellaring
A big, bold and powerful wine that will reward careful cellaring and will drink well from now until 2035. Enjoy as a younger wine with a juicy rare rib eye fillet steak, or cellar aged with slow cooked marinated ribs.
