Description
Aroma
The nose presents lifted aromas of spiced black plum, complemented by generous notes of vanillin and nutty oak. Underlying these are hints of caramel and graphite, with deeper accents of dark chocolate that add plushness and complexity to the aromatic profile.
Awards & Points
As of July 2025, there are no widely published awards or points for the 2022 vintage of Campbells Rutherglen Durif. However, Campbells Wines is renowned for quality and previous vintages of their Rutherglen Durif have been well received by critics and at regional shows, supporting the consistency and reputation of the estate.
Pairing
This Durif pairs exceptionally well with hearty, robust dishes such as:
- Slow-cooked beef short ribs or brisket
- Grilled steak or lamb shoulder
- Smoky barbecue fare
- Rich, tomato-based meat stews
- Hard, aged cheeses such as cheddar or gruyere
The wine’s bold structure, dark fruit character, and firm tannins make it ideal for matching with richly flavored, savoury foods and classic comfort dishes.
