Museum Durif Dozen
Winemaker curated. Carefully cellared. Perfectly aged.
We're celebrating 21 vintages under our belt with this very special museum release of Scion Durif. Among the rare gems that we've been carefully cellaring for as long as two decades are three trophy winners and two gold medal winners.
Our take on Durif is intense, yet elegant. Our handpicked, estate-grown fruit delivers intensity, supported by fine tannin and bright acidity. This wine spends up to 16 months in French oak (20 - 40% new), depending on the season.
"Stems" is Durif with up to 85% stems included during fermentation, resulting in a striking, savoury and structured wine. Handpicked, estate grown, wild fermentation. Matured in Foudre (no new oak).
