Riverina Estate
Centenary of Griffith Durif
Riverina, Big Rivers, New South Wales, Australia
This is a very special limited edition bottle which was a collaborative project by the Riverina winemakers in NSW to celebrate 100 years of winemaking. In hindsight perhaps I should of kept it since only 3000 bottles were produced but hey, I couldn't resist! 6 wineries each put in a barrel of their finest Durif to be blended. The participating wineries included; Berton Vineyards, Calabria Family Wines, Casella Brands, De Bortoli Wines, McWilliams Wines, Nugan Estate & Warburn Estate.
Opaque, inky purple magenta colour on the eye. It looks so rich and sultry! Pungent nose with dark black fruit, spice and oak coming through. Vibrant acidity on the palate and a very fruit toward nature with a punchy finish. A very satisfying red but then again you can't go wrong with a well-made Durif!
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #mediasample
