2006 Reilly's Old Bush Vine Grenache

The fruit for this wine is sourced from Reilly’s oldest vineyard planted in 1919. The wine is open fermented, gently basket pressed and given 6 months maturation in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads.

Deep crimson mauve colour with mauve brick red hue. Aromas of dark plum, confectionary and liquorice allsorts, displaying good intensity. This is a big ripe joosy Grenache overloaded with flavour – dark plum, black cherry, confectionary, spice and liquorice allsorts flavours are in abundance. Excellent weight and length with a velvet tannin structure. Very long spice, blackberry, plum and confectionary aftertaste.
