Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Durif from the Riverina in inland New South Wales, where the variety reaches its most concentrated expression. 3 Bridges is Calabria Family Wines' premium tier and shows more polish than the region's workhorse reputation suggests. Opaque in the glass, with dense plum and blackberry over liquorice, mocha and dark chocolate, and the fine, chewy tannin that defines Durif everywhere it grows. Full-bodied and high in alcohol, but with the structure to carry it: these wines soften considerably over a decade and hold well beyond. It wants roast or braised meat rather than anything subtle, and rewards a decant.
