Durif 2022
Scion's fresh and modern take on Durif is elegant yet intense.
Bright, aromatic, earthy. Look for red plum, liquorice, spice, with a delicate oak lift. Super fine tannin complements a round, complete palate in this very elegant wine.
Handpicked fruit from our estate vineyard (Linlithgow), wild yeast fermented in open concrete vats. Some whole berries and stems are included for floral lift, spice and complexity. Matured in a combination of Foudre, 20% new French oak and pre-loved French oak.

91pts, Halliday:
A dichotomy of a wine: looks and smells dark and brooding à la traditional Rutherglen durif, arrives elegantly defined. A few swishes and the aromatics are released, spices come to the fore to match with black and red fruits, and all are dressed immaculately in fine tannins. Oak is a background note, a subtle adjunct.
