Reschke BOS Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

‘Bos’ Latin for Bull.

As cattle graziers in the Coonawarra since 1906, the bull has been part of the Reschke family heritage for over 100 years. Now focused on producing the perfect Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, a commitment to quality has evolved, with vines hand pruned and managed to produce very low yields. This has ensured the berries harvested are rich in flavour and character. Softness and elegance of this wine have been enhanced by maturation in small French oak casks.

Reschke Vitulus Shiraz 2021

The Vitulus Shiraz displays a dark ruby colour, with aromas of fresh red fruits such as juicy plum and cranberry, followed by subtle touches of forest floor. The palate presents fresh red cherry and juicy plum, complemented by hints of black pepper spice. Fine-grained tannins and subtle toasted oak create a layered wine with length and persistence.

Reschke Bull Trader Merlot 2021

This Merlot is a medium bodied style with abundant ripe red berry fruit flavours displayed on a rich round mid palate. The red currant, plum and dark berry fruit characters vibrant and well integrated with subtle oak characters.

Reschke RSR Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The Reschke RSR Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is deep ruby in colour. Aromas of dark plums, coconut, capsicum, mint and cigar box on the nose. The palate is spicy and delicate with beautiful fruit, good acidity and chalky tannins.

Reschke Vitulus Shiraz 2020

The details for the Vitulus Shiraz are almost identical to those of the Bull Trader, with the exception that this single Coonawarra vineyard was planted thirty years ago, not 35. For me, the pick of the latest set of releases from this winery. Loved it. Dark maroon in colour, there are touches of dried herbs, garden notes and red cherries on the nose. Even a hint of stonefruit, as though there was a dollop of Viognier included (there is not, as far as I am aware). Chocolate and leather round things out. Good intensity and serious length here, perhaps more so than in any of the other current releases. Good balance and some early complexity. A seriously good Coonawarra Shiraz with a decade ahead of it.

Reschke Armenta Museum Release 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Reschke Armenta Museum Release 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon shows creme de cassis, cigar, fragrant spice and roasted hazelnut aromas. This wine delivers equal weight and ripe fruits intensity. Superbly fruited and complex wine from a back vintage.
