This strikes the fresh jam chord perfectly (and it's a hard chord to play); the trick is to find developed fruit flavours without falling into overly unctuous and too-ripe territory. When winemakers get it right the results are outstanding - lucky for you, this is one such wine. Spiced, herbacious, and delivering a long fantail finish that ties the wine neatly together and has you (almost unconsciously) lifting the glass back to your lips. I will tell you to cellar this (and you will be rewarded if you do) but it's hypocritical of me, because I've already consumed my modest allocation.

A classic Aussie red blend meets a classic Aussie producer. Sounds about right, and tastes even better. We’re talking an all-class act, one that speaks of its home in the Pyrenees and the eucalypt influence that punctuates the fresh air. The wine itself is all estate-grown, setting the bar high coming from a winery of this calibre. Rich notes of vanilla and toast gently hum alongside fresh blackcurrants and black cherries, perhaps a little touch of olive tapenade lingering on the finish. You can expect this wine is going to knock your socks off, so set your expectations high and let this gem hit even higher.

Coonawarra is an endless treasure trove, and we've just struck more gold. Shiraz at it's fresh, lively best. Abundantly fruited, smoooth drinking shiraz that's winning hearts. Reschke know their way around a good bottle of wine, and that doesn't just apply to their famed Coonawarra cabernets. Dark red fruits are complimented by red cherry, cranberry, with touches of allspice and pepper for a generous seasoning. It’s all you could ask for and more.
