THE REAL REVIEW, reviewed by Nick Butler, May 2019, ”Lifted, ripe raspberries with licorice and cloves. A primary, juicy blend with a sweetly-fruited mix of red and purple berries. It's crunchy, with grainy tannins on the finish. Great value”

VINEYARD - Estate grown at Reillys, St Clare Vineyard, Watervale Clone 1919 Block Grenache, Cropping 2.5T per acre Rich red loam over deep limestone

WINEMAKING - 70% Grenache, 30% Shiraz Cold soaked with prolonged skin contact

MATURATION - 100% French oak Hogsheads - 15 months

BOUQUET - Dark cherry and plum with a touch of spice

PALATE - Dark rich fruits with finely integrated French oak. Sweet ripe fruit on the finish with peppery spice. Velvety tannins with great persistence.

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!
