2022 Reillys R Shiraz

Big, rich, robust Clare Valley Shiraz.

A long time customer favourite, Reillys R Shiraz consistently delivers a big, hefty drinking experience. Produced from a blend of the best fruit off the 18 year old St Clare vineyard and a parcel from the 50 year old dry grown Home Block vineyard (around 20%) to provide the wine with additional depth and density. All parcels of fruit are basket pressed, then the wine spends 18 months in French oak barrels maturing.
Dense inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Intense ripe black cherry and liquorice scents flood the nostrils with some spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy leather and pepper notes also evident. Rich, opulent liquorice and black cherry fruits are intermeshed with smouldering vanillin cedar and peppered earth characters. A firmly built tannin structure imparts a robust feel across the finish which shows some heat.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 15.5%
