Wines by Campbells

Rutherglen may have the only major plantings of genuine Durif in the world due to Phylloxera, and Rutherglen can lay claim to the oldest productive examples in Australia. From within their quarantined vineyards at Rutherglen, Campbell's have been the protagonists of Durif for generations. "It makes for a massive wine, high in alcohol, and full of rich dusty liquorice flavours. This is red wine for thirsty heroes in mid-winter. You have been warned!" -Sydney Morning Herald, "This is a cracker – Lovers of big reds rejoice!" -Canberra Times

The Durif of Rutherglen is unique, nowhere else in Australia are wines of such immense richness and power made from the variety. So rare is Durif that little exists outside Rutherglen. The few vines that have survived elsewhere produce such a different wine from the Rutherglen Durif that it is almost certain they are grown from a different clone. Barkly is what Colin Campbell believes Durif from Rutherglen should be. The vital ingredient is the climate, typically long, warm and dry autumn ripening periods. Choice parcels of the best fruit are fermented on skins in closed fermenters for six days followed by maturation in a combination of American and French oak puncheons for eighteen months. Alcohol 14.5%

A dense ruby coloured wine. Intense ripe plums and black cherry with a blueberry lift and subtle oak vanillin in the background. Deep, rich and mouth filling flavours of plums and black cherry with hints of mocha and ground spice on the mid palate. The rich fruit is balanced by very fine yet firm fruit tannins and subtle oak that add complexity and great length. "Here is one seductive wine, it's a thoroughbred that gets the heart throbbing with anticipation as you realize you're about to partake of some very pure, inbred vines. The original sin, no doubt!" -CabernetFrank.com, "Dense and thick, with flavours of plum preserve, inky cherry and dark chocolate, would dance with peppery, charred flank steak!" -Stephen Tanzer's

Campbells Shiraz Durif 2008

Rutherglen

The Campbell family are one of Rutherglen great winemaking dynasties, internationally recognized for their profound regional expressions of Shiraz. They remain custodians for some of the world's last remaining plantings of pre-phyloxera Durif. Two of the classic Rutherglen varietals have been vinified and assembled to construct a finely integrated, complex and engaging wine. The Shiraz component contributes full flavours with spicy berry fruit, Durif adds violet and black cherry characters, solid structure with length and a firm tannin finish

Durif was first planted at Rutherglen in 1908. The variety was recommended by Francois de Castella, the Victorian Government’s viticultural expert, who brought Durif back to Australia following a study tour of France. No other winegrape in Australia has created such a strong association with a single region as Durif with Rutherglen. The region's warm and dependable climate is in many ways similar to the Rhone, it comes as no surprise that Shiraz and Durif flourish here. Fruit is normally harvested in March and fermented on skins for approximately seven days. Following vinification and the final assembly, the wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak casks for twelve months. Alcohol 14.5%

Deep red colour. Fragrant and complex, Shiraz contributes scented raspberry fruit, Durif brings violet and black cherry. Subtle earth notes in the background add savouryness. A Shiraz palate upfront with spicy raspberry and black cherry, Durif shows black olive and bitter chocolate. Fine tannins draw the wine out to a long and persistent finish. "A tasty blend of Rutherglen’s two staple red varieties, with the Shiraz apparently contributing the core flavours of black berries and plums while the Durif adds extra body, length and hints of warm earth and chocolate. After a couple of years in the bottle, the palate has mellowed out well and drinkability is a keynote here. A genuine regional style at a reasonable price!" -Herald Sun

Situated entirely within the defined Rutherglen Wine Region, the Campbell vineyards total approximately 64 hectares of trialled and proven varietals

Rutherglen's warm and dependable climate is, in many ways similar to the Rhone region of France and it comes as no surprise that the Rhone specialties of Shiraz (known as Syrah in France) and Durif prosper here. The vital ingredient to Rutherglen's climate is the normally long, warm and dry Autumn ripening period. This enables the grapes to slowly and consistently ripen to maturity, producing the true varietal flavours so evident in the Campbell reds and whites.

The grapes are confidently left to linger on the vine and develop the high natural sugar levels and complexity required to produce the unique Muscat and Tokay of Rutherglen. With the range of grape varieties, different vineyard management techniques are employed to maximize each variety's potential. Scott Henry and Geneva Double Curtain are just a few of the trellising systems in use to vary fruit exposure and ripening processes.


Campbell's of Rutherglen grow Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Trebbiano and Pedro Ximenez. The red varieties include Shiraz, the rare Durif, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet and Malbec. The world renowned Rutherglen Muscats are made from the variety Muscat Petits Grains Rouge, and the Rutherglen Tokay from Muscadelle. Campbell's nursery block is home to many experimental varieties such as Viognier and Roussane, displaying the winemaking family's commitment to innovation in the vineyard. The Campbell vineyards are in a unique and privileged position. Campbells of Rutherglen are the bearers of over four generations of winemaking knowledge, decades of aged stocks of wine, and some of the most modern winemaking technology available. This allows skillfully management of the ancient Soleras, not only to produce the grand Rutherglen Muscats and Tokays, but to capture the pure natural grape flavours of Rutherglen varieties, and to express them fully in the winery's sensational red and white table wines. A full range of winemaking techniques is used to craft the award winning reds and whites. The use of heat exchangers and refrigerated storage is coupled to gentle tank pressing and controlled fermentation to protect delicate fruit aromas. Rotary fermenters enhance colour extraction for red wines. French and American oak barrels are used sparingly in the fermentation and maturation of some wines, always to enhance, never to dominate the natural fruit flavours. In total contrast, the fortified cellar remains the domain of ancient barrels gently nurturing their precious contents for decade upon decade of ageing to mellow maturity. The ancient Soleras are painstakingly nurtured by the devoted winemaking team.	The skilful art of blending, handed down to Colin Campbell by his forebears, is painstakingly carried out to ensure consistency of quality and the perpetuation of the Campbells style - from the most youthful muscats and tokays to the richest and most complex rare classification.
The worlds most influential wine critic, American Robert Parker Jnr, regularly heaps praise on Campbells fortifieds, having awarding the Rare Merchant Prince Muscat a near perfect 99 point out of 100, with the Isabella Rare Tokay a whisker behind with 98 points. Parker said of the Merchant Prince, "This is a stunning effort with levels of texture and richness that need to be tasted to be believed!" whilst the Isabella Tokay drew "It possesses superb intensity as well as palate presence with hints of honeysuckle, raisins, black tea, marmalade and toffee". Of the Rutherglen Muscat, "Rich, full bodied and extraordinarily intense, it is an amazing wine!"
