Got this from my VM broker just now
You’ve heard a bit from me lately on the Shiraz front, but we just wrangled an old-school beauty from Barossa, and I have exclusive pre-arrival access. If you enjoyed Angove 1886 or the Lou Miranda Reserve Shiraz, then this will be right up your alley.
This award winning Shiraz comes from Reis Creek in the heartland of the Barossa. Reis Creek is a family run operation dating back to 1850, founded by Johann Pech. Fast forward four generations and we arrive with Leo Pech at the helm. A stalwart of the Barossa wine community, Leo has worn many hats: Vice-President of Wine Grape Growers Council of Australian, Chairman of the Barossa Grapegrowers Vine Selection Society, Chairman of the Barossa Wine Grape Advisory Council, National President of the Australian grape Producer Association. In 1984, Leo became a Baron of the Barossa for his contribution to the grape and wine industry.
The Reis Creek 2016 Shiraz is a showcase of Barossa generosity and generational intelligence in winemaking practice and terroir. It's rich, developed, robust and tightly wound in an oak blanket. It is quintessential Barossa in its most admired and recognised format. It screams old-school Australiana, and the heavy-set bottle is quite telling of the pedigree and demographic.
This is not reinventing the wheel, it’s comfort, consistency and cracking good value.
We currently have it available at
$68 down to $19.90 in the 6 pack, so get at me quickly if you are interested in a case or two. I’m sure it won’t stick around for too long.
