Reschke R-Series Limestone Coast Shiraz 2024

Product Description

Reschke Wines is a family-owned producer with a proud winemaking heritage in South Australia's Limestone Coast. Drawing on generations of vineyard expertise, the R-Series showcases premium regional fruit, producing wines that combine varietal expression with the distinctive character of the Limestone Coast.

Region & Vintage Conditions

Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Limestone Coast, this Shiraz benefits from the region's cool maritime climate, limestone-rich soils and extended growing season. These conditions encourage slow, even ripening, resulting in concentrated fruit flavours, vibrant natural acidity and refined tannins.

Winemaking Techniques

The fruit is fermented under controlled temperatures to preserve its bright fruit profile before maturation in oak, adding subtle spice and complexity. The winemaking approach focuses on creating a generous, well-balanced Shiraz that is approachable in its youth while retaining excellent structure.
