| Silver Medal for the Durif |
Oct 20 2007 |
|
Our 2005 Jones The Winemaker Durif won a silver medal at the 2007 Rutherglen Wine Show. The judges comments were "nice and elegant, black olive, little bit too light, great colour, spicy and lifted. " We were not able to enter our other wines because of the small volumes we produced and the minimum volume requirements of some classes.

The Border Morning Mail. Friday 11th May, 2007 David Sutherland reviewed the 2005 Jones The Winemaker Durif ”Violets, dark fruits and new oak abound on the nose. The alcohol is high but not obvious as the wine’s structure is firm with fine dry tannins providing balance and length. With food red meat and game. RATING **** IN A WORD great!” |
