Rutherglen EstatesRenaissance Durif
About this product
Durif fruit has very sturdy skins which are packed full of colour, flavour and tannin. Fermented in a shallow static fermenter at a comparatively cool temperature to prevent over-extraction of the very firm tannins, with gentle, hand plunging two to three times daily, the wine was left on skins for ten days to allow the tannins to integrate and soften. At the completion of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation and maturation for 20 months.
