In Australia, ‘beyond the black stump’ is a phrase that means you’re really off the beaten path. But remote origins haven’t stopped The Black Stump Durif Shiraz, one of the most in-demand wines we carry. A robust red, it’s packed with intense blackberry and plum flavors accented by licorice and spice.
Previous vintages have racked up more medals and international awards than we can care to list, but we really knew the wine was special when we caught wind that people have actually called the winery when bottles aren’t available.
That’s just the kind of devotion The Black Stump inspires, or as Alan Kennett, its original winemaker, says, when you blend Durif (aka, Petite Sirah) with Shiraz, “magical things happen.”
These days Alan's former apprentice David Joeky is the talented winemaker behind the wine, and it continues to impress just as much. Durif brings power, structure and chocolatey, blueberry flavors. Shiraz adds oomph and spicy bramble notes. And it all amounts to a ‘black magic’ blend that flies out of cellars in record time. Hurry for your share.
