The nature of a caravan says it usually follows but this one has turned that around and has a huge following. Ever popular at Vino Fino, the Caravan packs quite a punch for such a modestly priced wine, with its dark colour, berry jam fruits and a nice dry and spicy finish. If you are buying this to share, get more than one bottle because it will quickly disappear… It's time to get on the Caravan if you haven't already.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Sometimes, the most wonderful creations emerge from random, happy hybrids. Take the cross-pollination of Peloursin and Syrah vines which French botanist Francois Durif discovered. He produced a delicious new grape variety, worthy of his own name: Durif, also known as Petite Sirah. And there begins your journey of discovery: taste the full-bodied, generous and lively flavours, like blackcurrant and plums balanced with spicy toasted integrated oak.

Intense red with purple hues. Intense youthful fresh ripe berry fruit flavours with some well integrated vanillin oak . Full bodied dense ripe berry fruit flavours balanced with vanillin oak but yet long and smooth. Serve with a red wine casserole or a juicy steak with red onion jam. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring."
