The Story Behind the Bottle
As you’d expect from a wine dominated by Durif, this is a big red. It was originally crafted in the darkest corner of the cellar. Why? Because it was the special project of rising-star winemaker David Joeky and he didn’t want anyone to take a look or taste it until he was absolutely ready. So every evening, after the rest of the crew had left, David would retire to the furthest corner of the cellar, where he’d stationed his special tanks of dark, spicy Durif and ripest, peppery Shiraz. Now the wine has a proven track record, he’s a little less shy of his ‘blinder of a blend’. It’s full of gloriously ripe, liquorice- and spice-scented fruit with an underlying note of oak. Smooth enough to sip solo and even better with hearty red meat dishes.
