The Black Stump Durif Shiraz Magnum 2006

Wine with 'wow'! A collector's magnum of Casella's dark, captivating, 'turbocharged' favourite

The Black Stump is handcrafted by John Casella, who practises his 'dark art' behind closed doors at his family's remote estate. The wine owes its name to an Aussie expression meaning 'the back of beyond', but its remote origins has not stopped it from winning medals at prestigious competitions around the world.

The 2006 vintage is guaranteed to delight more than ever! That's because extreme heat during the vintage "slowed ripening ... and enhanced flavour intensity" (Australian Wine Corporation), which pushed concentration to levels we never thought possible.

Inky-black, brambly Durif is given a spicy, blueberry edge by dark chocolate Shiraz and sweet oak. Velvety, voluptuous, and irresistible served in generous glasses with char-grilled steak or Sunday roasts.
