Buckboard Durif is a single vineyard wine that’s been grown, vintaged and matured on the Kalleske property. Vigilant grape growing, traditional winemaking and maturation in new and seasoned American oak hogsheads has resulted in a powerful, full-bodied wine of great flavour and intensity.

Colour: 
2022 Buckboard Durif is deep black in colour.

Aroma:
The aroma announces a strong wine awaits.  Black fruits abound, namely blackberry and dark cherry.  There’s also fruit cake, violet, briar, chocolate liquorice and toasty oak.

Palate: 
The palate is rich and full bodied.  Plenty of dark fruit throughout.  Being Durif, tannins are obviously notable but more polished this year, allowing the big black fruits to shine deeper before the dry chalky tannins engage near the end.  Quality oak is evident providing another layer of flavour.  This wine is truly bountiful in every aspect.  Power and complexity are its hallmark, but strong fruit purity is dominant.  A very generous long finish completes this beguiling wine.

Recommended Drinking:
Buckboard is a compelling and seductive Barossa Durif that can be enjoyed now or over the next decade.
