Reillys Dry Land Shiraz 2018 from Clare Valley is a rich and balanced wine characterized by stewed plums, ripe berries, chocolate, mocha, and a hint of pepper and spice. It is matured for 24 months in American and French oak hogsheads, which add sweet vanilla and cinnamon notes. The wine offers rounded, succulent tannins supported by lively acidity and finishes with crushed graphite nuances. It has earned multiple awards including a double gold and 96 points at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2023, and is drinking very well now with potential to cellar further.
