Myattsfield durif 2023

These guys were the first in WA to bring in durif, and it’s a variety that seems so well suited to the Perth Hills. This was a super vintage, and I have to say, I don’t think I’ve seen a better example of this variety from anywhere in the state. It’s rich and powerful with plush fruits, but there’s a softness and a lovely, velvety texture. Sweet, ripe fruit, spices, dark chocolate, soft tannins, and just a little bit of oak. The slightly cooler season allowed this wine to gently pick up flavour. It’s a cracker.
