1164 Durif (per case of 6)

Our 1164 Durif is a deep dark mulberry in colour with lifted aromatics of blueberries and blackberries with hints of anise and cocoa. The palate is complex and intense with bursts of crushed dark berries and dark chocolatey flavours. Rich, supple tannins are well integrated giving this wine a long, delicious finish. Enjoy this premium full-bodied wine with a juicy, full-flavoured rib eye steak along with golden baked potato's and a light fresh salad. This intensely-coloured, rich wine also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses such as blue and goats cheese.

This wine, whilst ready to enjoy now has cellaring potential. If you cellar this wine for up to three or four years, it may require decanting. Good reds will “throw a crust” or form sediments over this time, hence the need to decant it. If you drink it young, then remove the screwcap 30 minutes before you serve it, to give the wine time to breathe. If you do cellar it, store in a cool, dry place away from temperature fluctuations.
