Campbells Rutherglen Durif is a dense deep Magenta. Spiced black plum fruit with lashings of vanillin oak. A powerful and rich, full bodied wine, with ripe black plums at the forefront to fill the mouth. Smooth mid palate weight, warm spice and chocolate/mocha oak integration. Balance is provided by integrated fine tannins typical of Durif in its youth.
Fruit was harvested through March and April and fermented on skins for 10 days. The wine then spent 18 months in French and American oak puncheons prior to blending and bottling. The 2021 Rutherglen Durif is a
smooth refined yet youthful version of Durif.
Ready to drink immediately upon release showcasing the power of youthful Durif, this wine will also cellar well for 5 – 8 years. Delicious to enjoy with full flavoured char grilled meats, rib eye.

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.
