Product Description

Reschke Wines is a family-owned winery with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1906. While best known for its Coonawarra vineyards, the Bull Trader range also showcases premium fruit from neighbouring Padthaway, producing expressive wines that highlight regional character and varietal purity.

Region & Vintage Conditions

The 2025 vintage is sourced from premium vineyards in Padthaway, a region renowned for producing elegant, fruit-driven Chardonnay. The combination of fertile soils, warm days and cool evenings encourages slow, even ripening, resulting in generous stone fruit flavours balanced by fresh natural acidity.
