The Black Stump Durif Shiraz 2014
South Eastern Australia

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

Dark Durif – “the grape that takes no prisoners” (The Observer) – and juicy, spicy Shiraz have a turbo charging effect on each other, creating a velvety and irresistible style. Serve in large glasses with char-grilled steak or a Sunday roast.
