The 2019 Rutherglen Estate Sparkling Shiraz Durif is a rich, ruby-hued wine with a lively effervescence. Notes of fresh red berries, chocolate, and spice are enveloped in a velvety, creamy mousse, creating a balanced palate with a touch of residual sweetness and chalky tannins. This complex flavour profile is enhanced by hints of darker berries and chocolate, imparted by carefully ageing certain portions of the blend in older oak barrels.

Winery & Vintage Info
The Rutherglen Estate was acquired by the iconic De Bortoli Wines in 2018 and is the world leader in production of fortified wines such as Muscat, Port and Topaque (formerly known as Tokay). One of the most progressive and diverse viticultural regions in Australia, Rutherlgen is also recognised for producing premium quality red wines and many European white varietals.
The Shiraz is grown on the De Bortoli Burgoyne and Shelley’s vineyards on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. The Durif component is sourced from selected blocks on the Shelley’s vineyard. Both sites have an interesting gravel, clay and alluvial soil mix, resulting in a positive diversity of fruit flavour profiles.
After a cooler and slightly wetter than average winter, Rutherglen had good growing conditions through spring. The summer was warm and dry with above average temperatures but without any days of extreme heat. This allowed the grapes to develop full flavours and some fantastic depth of colour.
The Rutherglen Estate Sparkling Shiraz Durif 2019 vintage saw parcels of Shiraz and Durif were selected on their suitable flavour profiles and tannin structure. Richness of fruit with great balance, and softness of tannins were most desired. The final blend was made with the Shiraz portion matured in older oak to add a further dimension of complexity. The mousse and bead are added to help balance the mouthfeel and texture to the wine. The sweetness was added to balance the palate and the consistency of the wine, delivering an enjoyable versatile sparkling.
