Shiraz
A wonderfully rich, full bodied wine with ripe sweet fruits
of dark plums and spices with a hint of liquorice. Smooth
tannins and a long lingering finish complete this classic
Clare Valley shiraz.
91 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Wine Enthusiast, Issue 140:
September/October 2008
(Inky purple. Highly complex aromas of boysenberry,
blueberry, anise and smoked meat. Fleshy and sweet, with
deep dark berry liqueur flavors, velvety texture and
gentle mineral lift on the back end. A seductive, open-knit
wine with no rough edges and excellent finishing cut. I'd
drink this now to wallow in its opulent fruit.
92 Points ~ Robert Parker Jnr’s The Wine Advocate
Full bodied, plush wine with layers of succulent fruit,
savory, ripe flavors.

More information about this winery
Reillys
In 1993, we started from humble beginnings where the first vintages of wines were processed on the front porch of the cottage. The winery has steadily grown over the years and production has moved to a state-of-the-art facility in nearby Leasingham in 2000.
The Clare Valley is famed for its Rieslings, Shiraz and Cabernets. What diffrentiates the Clare from many other Australian wine regions are the dry, hot summer days and cool, crisp nights which contribute to the intensity of the flavours in Clare Valley fruit - The philosophy is to produce low volumes of premium, hand-made wines from this unique fruit.
The vineyards, located in Leasingham and Watervale are non-irrigated, depending solely on rainfall - hence the use of the name "DRY LAND WINES". The terroir is typically rich, red loam over limestone. They yield limited quantities (from 0.5-2.0 tonnes per acre) of small, delicious berries which are hand picked to ensure only the premium fruit is selected to go into our winemaking process.
The chief wine maker is Justin Ardill. More from this winery
