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.
Aroma:
The aroma is intense and brooding, with a deep, enveloping tapestry of dark fruit. Ripe black cherry, plum cake, and treacle, woven with layers of toasty oak, roasted coffee, and warming sweet spice.
Palate:
On the palate, the wine is unapologetically bold, delivering a full-bodied, opulent experience. The dense, weighty fruit commands attention, offering unctuous dark berry flavours seamlessly intertwined with smoky, chocolate oak. Robust, native tannins provide a muscular backbone, lending structure and balance to this powerhouse Durif. The finish is long, generous, and dry, leaving a lasting impression of concentrated fruit and lingering depth.
