Winemaker Notes
Reillys Wines was established by the Ardill family in 1993. Our philosophy is to produce low volumes of premium, hand-made wines from dry grown fruit produced on our 85 year old vineyard and adjoining properties in Watervale. only the most premium Shiraz fruit is chosen for our dry Land label. hand picking, open fermentation, gentle basket pressing and 2 years American oak maturation have produced a classic Clare Valley Shiraz with ripe plum and cherry aromas. Best enjoyed in moderation with good food and friends.
Ripe plum and rich spice are complimented with sweet vanilla oak. Firm acidity and ripe tannins.

- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Reilly's began operations in 1993 as a small producer of fine quality hand-made wines. The wines are made on Reilly's premises at Mintaro in the Clare Valley using grapes from their non-irrigated vineyard. The 75-year-old vines are located just outside Watervale and depend solely on rainfall, yielding limited quantities of small delicious berries. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented in open vats, prolonging contact of skins and juice. The fermented wine is then hand basket-pressed. This is a slow process proving last "pressings" which contribute to creating fine wines of intense color and flavor. The wine is then stored in French and American Oak hogsheads for one to two years.
