About the wine
Deep, rich and powerful.
- It's back! This is a deep brooding red, just as gorgeous on the nose and palate as it is when you first clasp eyes on its beautiful label. This Diamond is full of the very best quality fruit from two Rutherglen vineyards where very low yields are maintained to ensure the fullest of flavours each and every sip.
- This wine comes with a warning - it is a BIG red! If you love a drop that is bold and not afraid to show off its layers, you simply can't go past the Diamond Durif. The varietal is naturally very high in tannin so picking the grapes at exactly the right time is vital.
- Jen has crafted this vintage beautifully. The wine has a dark and inky purple colour. The nose abounds with black berries and blood plums, dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla. With rich flavours on the fore to mid palate and plenty of tannin giving length and power on the finish, make sure you're sitting down for your first sip....it may just knock you off your feet!
Best before
My Diamond Durif has the structure for long-term maturation for 15 years to 2031.
Serving advice
I recommend opening and allowing to breathe or decanting 3-4 hours prior to serving.
Ideal serving temperature is 16-18C.
Food match
My Diamond Durif loves anything that is rich in protein.
Try it with a big rib-eye steak, char-grilled on the BBQ, with fat chips and a green salad.
It's also fabulous with slow-cooked beef, mushroom and red wine casserole.
A must try vegetarian pairing is Durif-baked mushrooms, olives and herbs, served with brown rice and caramelized onions.
Contains sulphites
