Captain Barossa AK Koonunga Barossa Valley Durif
If you’re chasing concentration on a budget, this wine is of superhero proportions. Thump it on the table and you’ll scare the wildlife! These dimensions are hitherto unknown in the Barossa at this price, and wines at three times the price will cower in its presence. From 6th generation Barossa growers, this is an immense, weapons-grade slick of dense black fruits of all kinds, plum pudding, fruit mince spice, vanilla, liquorice, high cocoa dark chocolate and pitch, with finely polished tannins, impeccable definition and magnificent persistence. Available direct only.
