Celebrate International Durif Day on June 10 with Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia and discover the bold flavours of this unique varietal.

Durif, known for its rich and robust character, thrives in Australia's warm climate. This varietal, originally from France, has found a new home in regions like Rutherglen and the Barossa Valley. Australian winemakers excel in producing Durif wines that are intense, full-bodied, and perfect for aging. The grape's thick skin and high tannin content contribute to its deep colour and complex flavour profile, making it a favourite among red wine enthusiasts.

Stanton & Killeen, located in the heart of Rutherglen, is renowned for its exceptional Durif. Their vineyards benefit from the region's warm days and cool nights, producing grapes with concentrated flavours. Stanton & Killeen's Durif offers notes of dark berries, spice, and chocolate, with a smooth, velvety finish. The winery's dedication to traditional winemaking techniques ensures each bottle reflects the rich heritage and terroir of Rutherglen.

Uncover some of Stanton & Killeen's world-class fortified wines and rich, luscious reds on a Private Tour & Tasting in the Solera Room.
