TASTING NOTES FOR Richland Durif Riverina New South Wales 2020
🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to inky purple. Dense and насыщated in colour, reflecting the naturally dark, powerful Durif variety.
👃 Aromas
Bold and expressive, with dark cherry, blackberry and plum leading the nose.
Hints of violet, dark chocolate, spice and a touch of earthy savouriness add depth and richness.
👅 Palate
Full-bodied and robust, delivering rich black fruit flavours—plum, mulberry and blackberry.
Layers of chocolate, spice and subtle oak combine with a slightly sweet mid-palate, creating a generous, powerful style.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Firm and structured with noticeable tannins typical of Durif.
The finish is bold and warming, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a slightly rustic, savoury edge.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Riverina Durif—big, bold and full-flavoured.
Built around power and richness, offering a hearty, no-nonsense red that overdelivers at its price point.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with BBQ meats, slow-cooked beef, lamb ribs or hearty pasta dishes. Also excellent with rich, smoky flavours and grilled dishes.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously bold, full-throttle red that delivers richness, power and flavour in spades.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a big, crowd-pleasing red that stands up to food and overdelivers for everyday drinking.
Cheers
