NUGAN ESTATE DURIF 750 ml

Picture the rugged warmth of Manuka Grove in Hanwood, New South Wales, where Durif grapes soak up the dry sun to build their deep character. Nugan Estate Durif captures that essence in every bottle, drawing from a single parcel handpicked at peak ripeness. The berries go in whole after destemming—no crushing—to let gentle fermentation unfold in rotary vessels, rolled twice each day over eight days before pressing into a mix of new and seasoned American oak hogsheads.

Pour it out, and the deep garnet color catches the light, rimmed by a fresh crimson edge that hints at its vitality. Swirl and inhale: dark cherry and blood plum rise first, giving way to a creamy milk chocolate note from the oak. Take a sip, and the wine fills your mouth with lush black cherry, the dense comfort of plum pudding, and smooth dark chocolate, all woven through with earthy depth and a touch of vanillin. This full-bodied Australian red delivers wave after wave of fruit generosity, held firm by its inherent balance and structure.

Whether you're firing up seared lamb rump on the grill, slow-cooking caramelized veal shanks beside creamy polenta, or slicing into a wheel of aged cheddar by the fire, Nugan Estate Durif steps up as the perfect partner. At 13.50% ABV in a standard 750 ml bottle, it strikes that ideal pitch for lingering evenings or spirited gatherings. From the Riverina's welcoming terrain, this Durif stands tall among robust reds, inviting you to claim a bottle and taste the grove's bold spirit yourself.
