Reschke R-Series Shiraz 2021

Share

A 100% Shiraz from the Limestone Coast which delivers the elegance and intensity you expect from this cooler climate. A combination of black fruits with a mix of spices and a coating of chalk dust open on the nose. The palate is medium weight but with excellent fruit intensity supported by fine minerally tannins and a fine acidity. A combo of French and American oaks works well here, enhancing the palate texture and structure.
