An authentic boutique winemaking approach within a larger enterprise.
–Dominic Coulter, Penfolds Winemaker
Lustrous purple-red
Altogether different –varietally correct, without exaggeration or artefact.Black olive, mulberry leaf and loganberry/boysenberry fruits arch above, unencumbered by any intrusion of oak.An unfamilial dustiness infused with malt, and wafts of wild black Basmati rice instantly remind of a varietal point-of-difference.
Plush and mouth filling, with a beguiling satin texture. Glossy and finely polished (gemstone- like)… the emery-board tannins of the inaugural 2013 Durif release re-appear! A sweet-berried (mulberry?) mid-palate tussles with a sour cherry/persimmon/cumquat ‘bite’ on the finish. Intriguing. Youthful, with presence.
Plentiful winter rainfall provided the vines across the Barossa Valley healthy soil moisture profiles in the lead up to the growing season. A cool start to spring slowed vine growth with temperatures gradually warming in October. It was a vintage that challenged grape growers, who had to work hard to control vine vigour. Weather conditions during harvest were generally benign with prevailing conditions extending harvest. Slow ripening ensured flavoursome grapes with welldeveloped colours and tannins.
