I forgot to mention, it's a yes/no quiz, you don't have to work out the answer from the photo.

Whilst the picture says shiraz vine, it certainly doesn't look to be nearing the ton.

It may be a Durif vine, 2008 being the centenary of its introduction to Rutherglen.

Umm

Can we stick to wine discussion perhaps, or in this case, quiz answering?

As ever here on auswine we stay away from swapping personal insults and so on.

Its all about the wine, as they say, or in this case, the wine quiz.



:wink: :lol:

The photo above surprised me somewhat given the significance of 2008 to this winery/vineyard.
