2018 Cimicky Autograph Durif

Tasting  Notes:

The 2018 Cimicky Autograph Durif captures the essence of this variety – bright dark blueberry fruit coupled with rich vanillin oak from two years maturation in barrels, fresh moderate acidity and plush rounded tannins that cleanse the palate.  A full bodied and generous style that is just starting to mature.

AUTOGRAPH
VITICULTURE
Estate Grown - Durif, also known as Petite Sirah in Southern Rhone, is a variant of Shiraz that has even deeper, brighter colour and tends to show more blueberry-like fruit characteristics. It thrives in similar climates as Shiraz and is therefore ideally suited to South Australia’s Barossa Valley with its regular warm sunny days and nights that are surprisingly cool. One of the first plantings in Barossa still producing fruit.
VINIFICATION
24 months Barrel maturation 100% American oak 15% new
Alcohol

CELLARING
It may be enjoyed now but will easily cellar well for up to ten years for those seeking more tertiary and less fruitforward flavours.
