Great reading.
The one thing I take issue with is the statement that Rutherglen is still focussed on producing fortified wines.
Yes, our vignerons still produce excellent tawny and other fortified wines, but it’s no longer the major product.
I do like the description of Durif, but as a native of the Hunter Valley, I reckon some of the older Hunter Hermitage wines give Durif a run for the money in the ‘robustness’ stakes!
I have downed many a glass where you could taste the flint in the soil the vines grew in.
If the feature prompts you to drop by, PM me.
We have a concrete slab with water & power at hand.
If we’re home, the Welcome Mat is out.
We’re 600m from the town centre and 200m from the nearest cellar door. It’s our ‘corner shop’!
