The Black Stump Durif Shiraz 2018
Here’s devotion: customers call the winery when we run out of this dangerously drinkable Durif-Shiraz, hoping for more. Every vintage is a smashing success on the international awards circuit; the blueberry-spice-packed 2018 is no different.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

Beyond the Label

Down Under, ‘beyond the black stump’ means you’re really off the beaten path. But remote origins haven’t stopped this Black Stump – it’s racked up acclaim at the most prestigious competitions in the world, including Mundus Vini, the AWC Vienna Wine Challenge and more. The 2018 proudly carries on the tradition, already boasting a pair of international gold medals.

All medals and international awards aside, you really know a wine is special when customers call the winery when they run out of it, hoping for more. That’s the kind of devotion The Black Stump inspires. The secret to its success? Star winemaker Alan Kennett, one of an elite group to win the Jimmy Watson Trophy (Australia’s premier wine prize).

It takes a special recipe too. As Alan says, when you blend Durif with Shiraz “magical things happen.” Durif brings power, structure, and chocolatey, blueberry flavors. Shiraz adds more oomph and spicy bramble notes.

With such a thirsty following, this ‘black magic’ blend flies out of our cellars in record time.
