Cairncross Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2017

The Barossa is world famous for its big rich concentrated reds. Its old vines are virtually national treasures and the region is home to some of Australia’s most iconic estates and most famous wines. Its Shiraz and Cabernet are renowned but plantings of Durif are tiny - so this beauty from Cairncross is a rare and sumptuous treat. Durif is known as “the grape that takes no prisoners”  according to The Observer. And when it comes from the Barossa (and combined with the mighty Barossa Shiraz) it's even more intense and luscious. Serve with something that can handle the luscious intensity - a big rump steak would be perfect.
