Using the same grape that powers the much adored Black Stump, Nericon Vineyard Reserve Durif is a double Gold medal winner. It's a lavish, oak aged beauty using parcels from small premium vineyards, and is packed with inky black fruit and spice.

Trading is tough out in Oz right now. First it was the bush fires that raged through the country in late 2019/ early 2020, swiftly followed by the pandemic. Then, they lost a large chunk of their market – China. Still, you know the Aussies, forever optimists and they soldier on. It does mean, however, there are some great wines needing a new home and going for an excellent, down to earth price. That's where Nericon Vineyard Reserve comes in. Premium parcels of Durif from small time growers in Riverina, New South Wales, make up this gloriously rich, barrel matured red. And deliciously, it's got two years age as well. Knowing our customers' passion for Durif, our buyer Dan didn't hesitate. A terrific red for drinking now with steak.

"If you love big, dark, weighty, spiced reds, this is a Reserve Durif to bag quickly!" Dan Parrott
