Campbells Rutherglen Durif
Deep dark plum and black cherries aromas with a lifted edge of violet, the fresh oak shows through as an integrated clove character. Intense dark cherry fruits flavours with some chewy fruit tannins adding texture and depth. The wine finishes with an array of dark fruit and aniseed combined with integrated vanillin char and very fine mouth coating tannin.

“The passion and drive we feel to make the best wine we can, comes from within; we live and breathe it.
We grew up amongst the vineyards, farm and winery. This is our life. We know our black and reddened clays, the rocky outcrops, the frosty Winter, the smell of Spring with the flush of green followed by the inevitable warm and dry Summer. The steadying influence of Dad is still felt as I recall- helping in the winery; Baume rounds and pump overs during vintage and fortified work in the summer. This life of experience has helped shape us just as previous Campbells generation did for Dad and so on. Our story is very much about the lineage of time and tradition, and about perfecting our craft in this blessed place called Rutherglen in Victoria, Australia.
Julie Campbell, Chief Winemaker”

Campbells winery and vineyards are situated in the historic Rutherglen Wine Region of North East Victoria.
Brothers Malcolm and Colin are the fourth generation to carry on the Campbell tradition started by their great grandfather John Campbell in Rutherglen in 1870. Together with their wives Jenny and Prue, they have forged a strong reputation for Campbells as a benchmark Rutherglen wine producer.
This region is predominately a fortified wine area, with the unique styles of fortified Muscat and Tokay (often termed as Australia’s most distinctive wines). Lindsay Brown a pastoralist, first planted vines in the 1850s following advice from newly arrived German settlers. His lead was followed by a group of retired miners who established wineries that to this day bear their names, Campbell’s Winery, Gehrig Wines, Morris Wines and G. Sutherland Smith & Sons. Many of the wineries and vineyards today were established before the turn of the 19th century. The climate is regarded as warm. The main wine styles: Rich fortified Muscats & Tokays; Port – hugh tannic reds requiring many years’ cellaring to come into balance.
