Beyond the Labels
Savour three bestsellers and an exciting new arrival.Two show off the grape’s charms in pure form, including new arrival Doctor Durif from the Marauding Vintners and The Black Duck, a bestseller from Sam Trimboli, a Durif specialist and devotee, whose car license plate even reads DURIF. This is the follow-up vintage to his Trophy, multi-Gold winning 2021. Six Word and Double Gold- and Trophy-winning Dark Corner, made by winemaker David Joeky, are ‘black magic’ combos of Durif and rich Shiraz. Astonishing value at $12.49 a bottle saving you $81.
Matured in American oak, the Black Duck Durif is full bodied and smooth with layers of spicy fruit. It's made by Sam Trimboli, whom many customers will know from his days at Warburn Estate, where he collected hundreds of awards for his legendary skills. During that time he developed an obsession for the obscure Durif, a “stunning little powerhouse grape that develops astounding complexity”, as he describes it. The Durif grapes for this wine come from a small vineyard that Sam helped establish in the 1980s. It’s now at peak maturity. In the 2021, he decided to add a small portion of punchy spice Petit Verdot for extra complexity and dark berry intensity. Perfect with char-grilled steak or strong cheeses, or as a warming glass solo.
Courtesy of our good friends, the Marauding Vintners, who know exactly where to find the best wines and genuine characters – meet Doctor Durif. The back label tells her story. Unable to settle in her native France, the good doctor has found climates much more to her liking in California and in spots across South and South Eastern Australia. A smooth operator,mostly seen alone (at times using a pseudonym), she actually mixes easily. Her easy charm can mask her dark side, complexity and genuine depth, but given her frequent extremepopularity it’s odd she’s not more widely known. Dark, deep, a bit spicy and an infectious easy charm. We think you're going to love her.
David Joeky marries deep, black Durif and smooth spicy Shiraz to produce a darker, denser, profound red. As he says: <i> “Magical things happen when Shiraz and Durif come together” </i>. His Dark Corner bears that out to delicious perfection. The result? It's almost as dark as the corner in which it was made, a wine to stain your palate, and once tasted, you’ll be hooked. Ripe and mouthfilling, with blackberry, plum berry fruit and mocha flavours with a smooth, creamy texture.
Black fruit, sweet spice and liquorice make wonderful bedfellows to a blanket of seamlessly integrated tannins. The lengthy flavours lead to a dreamily long finish where vibrant soft fruit makes itself known. Best enjoyed with the classic, rich braised meat of an oxtail stew with a side of crusty bread.
