Peter Graham worked at Beechworth icon, Giaconda for 13 years. Now out on his own, this new venture not only shows his skillful winemaking but captures the essence of the region and the reason its so renowned. Balanced, peppery, has good power and lots of smoky, meaty tannin, showing blueberries, blackberried and black cherries.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from Con Mara Vineyard in Whorouly South, Alpine Valleys, Victoria. The 3t of fruit was picked in early March and taken back to Beechworth for processing. The wine spent nearly 14 months in 4 x new 500L French Oak puncheons and has yielded a more full-bodied style than the 2013 vintage. This received a gold medal at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge; 94 Points Halliday Wine Companion, 92 Points The Wine Front; and 4 Stars in Winestate.

Durif originated in the Rhône Valley of France, but has been grown in Rutherglen for over a century. Its a variety that tends to make rather bold wines, like this beauty! Deep red black. Super-rich black cherry cola with iodine and prune. Palate equally intense with lashings of inky dark plum, prune and dark cherry, satiny and rounded mouthfeel, espresso-like tannins and plenty of charry oak. Sweet, rich and ripe.

Deep, dark with vibrant red hues. De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Tempranillo is elegant, with elements of berry fruits and a cherry compote.

The mouthfeel is soft and balanced with well ripened dark berry fruits combined with spice and fine grainy Shiraz tannin. The oak is integrated into the wine and completes the front palate of fresh berries, chocolates and spice.

The Chambers family have been making fortified wines in the world famous region of Rutherglen for more than six generations and it shows. Some of the finest, not to mention affordable, fortifieds being produced anywhere in the world. A true Australian icon.
