Description

Domaine Introduction:
Reillys Wines is a family-owned winery in the Clare Valley, with a history dating back to 1856 when Irish shoemaker Hugh Reilly first established the property. The Clare Valley is one of Australia's oldest wine regions, known for its continental climate with long hot summer days and cool nights, producing full-flavoured wines. The estate's dry-grown, non-irrigated vineyards produce small, concentrated grapes that reflect the region's character. The 2017 Merlot was crafted using traditional techniques including open fermentation, cold soaking, and prolonged skin contact to extract maximum colour, flavour, and tannin.
