Every vintage, winemaker Alan Kennett pulls out all the stops to create another sublime ‘Stump’. Before this Durif Shiraz came along, Durif was an experimental French grape relegated to history. Today it’s legendary. One sip and you’re smitten.QA

The Wine
According to winemaker Alan Kennett (and thousands of Black Stump customers), when you combine Durif and Shiraz “magical things happen”. Perhaps that explains Black Stump’s splendid decade of popularity. The wine owes its name to a mythical outback landmark, now part of the Aussie language. An expression of the biggest, best, richest anything, “this side of the black stump” effectively means “in the known world”. How appropriate for an affordable Aussie red of peerless intensity and popularity. Dark Durif – “the grape that takes no prisoners” (The Observer) – and impressively juicy Shiraz have a turbo charging effect on each other, creating a velvety, voluptuous, and irresistible style. Serve in large glasses with steak or a Sunday roast.QA
"Never lets you down. A great, full bodied red"
