De Bortoli Rutherglen Estates Victoria Renaissance Durif 2019 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background

The Renaissance range by De Bortoli Rutherglen Estates celebrates bold, characterful wines with a modern edge. Durif, a Rutherglen specialty, thrives in this warm inland region, producing deeply coloured, robust reds.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

Sourced from estate vineyards in Rutherglen, where long warm days and cool nights allow Durif to fully ripen. The 2019 vintage was dry and warm, ideal for developing powerful fruit expression and rich tannins.

Winemaking Process

Fermented in small open fermenters with regular plunging for optimal extraction. Maturation in a mix of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels for 18 months added structure and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in colour. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and mocha, layered with spice and toasty oak. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with firm tannins and a lingering finish.

Food Pairing

Best enjoyed with slow-cooked meats, BBQ ribs, aged cheddar, or hearty casseroles. A bold match for bold flavours.

Story Behind the Wine

A true expression of Rutherglen’s strength with Durif—this 2019 vintage combines power with polish. The Renaissance Durif is made to age but also offers immense pleasure now with rich, full-bodied appeal.
