The 2022 Eldorado Road Onyx Durif is a powerful yet vibrant red from North East Victoria, showing dark cherry, blueberry and black fruit with dark chocolate, cracked pepper and savoury spice. Despite Durif’s naturally robust character, this wine balances its depth with freshness and aromatic detail.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe dark fruit, lively acidity and firm, well-shaped tannins. Open fermentation, extended skin contact and maturation in French oak add structure and complexity, giving the wine excellent length and strong ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy structured Australian reds with dark fruit, spice and firm tannins. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through approximately 2035. Ideal with grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, roast lamb, venison or mushroom dishes.
