Reilly Estate Barking Mad Shiraz Clare Valley

THE REAL REVIEW, reviewed by Nick Butler, May 2019 “Medium purple colour with crimson edges. Asian spice and ripe red fruits on the bouquet. It's fresh and possesses a lovely length. Light on its feet and balanced. Tannins, fruit and oak (soft) in harmony”

VINEYARD - Estate grown at Reillys, St Clare Vineyard, Watervale Rich red loam over deep limestone

FERMENTATION - Cold soaked with prolonged skin contact MATURATION 100% French oak Hogsheads - 18 months

BOUQUET - Intense ripe fruit with a hint of floral

PALATE  - Complex layers of blackberry and liquorice with fruit sweetness and spice. Full bodied with well balanced oak giving a 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!
