Wine making, the Durif story

AB first tasted Durif wine in 2012 and fell in love with the grape. With the encouragement of the Badsberg cellar master he planted a 100 vines in 2013 and was further encouraged to make his own wine from the grapes as an extension of the experiment. In 2014 AB harvested 110kg of grapes and produced 60 litres of wine from it. The rest, as they say, is history.
