REYNELLA Basket Pressed Shiraz, McLaren Vale 2008 Bottle
1 * Bottle
About this wine
As James Halliday says, Reynella's Basket Pressed Shiraz is ‘a quintessential McLaren Vale Shiraz… Dark, brooding fruits of blackberry and Satsuma plum intermingled with bitter dark chocolate and endless ripe tannins that carry the wine right through. A perfect cellaring option, or if you prefer your fruit big and bold, enjoy now’. The wine is ‘fashioned from small parcels ex individual vineyards, open-fermented in the state of the art McLaren Vale winery, basket-pressed by the 100-year-old press, then matured in American and French barriques before final blending after 16 months’.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Chateau Reynella
Established in 1838, Chateau Reynella is seen as the birthplace of South Australian wine industry, as they were the first to grow grapes commercially for winemaking in South Australia. Their first vintage was in 1842 after John Reynell received vine cuttings from William Macarthur from NSW. In 1982 it was purchased by Thomas Hardy and Sons and has subsequently become part of the Accolade stable. McLaren Vale fruit is used to make the Basket pressed Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, full bodied and ripe styles from the warmer McLaren Vale. A vintage Port is also produced. It is now simply called Reynella, dropping the Chateau from its name.
