Winestate Magazine “An excellent, well structured and very youthful wine with great fruit density. Lovely subtle dark fruit bouquet and an extremely long and powerful dark savoury palate.”
VINEYARD - Estate grown at Reillys, St Clare Vineyard, Watervale CA125 Clone, Cropping 1.5T per acre Rich red loam over deep limestone.
WINEMAKING - Cold soaked with prolonged skin contact in small open fermentation vats
BOUQUET - Ripe dark berries with a touch of spice
PALATE - Full bodied with rich layers of intense blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a touch of mint. An elegant wine with velvety tannins and toasty, vanillin finish.
Barking Mad pays tribute to the Reillys winery Daschunds past and present who, upon hearing the Bedford truck rumbling down the road laden with fruit, go completely barking mad!
Enjoy this wine with friends, be they furry, mad or both!
