Barking Mad Shiraz has one of those labels that endears from the get go. We can all relate! This is a delicious Shiraz from Reilly's wines in the Clare Valley. It's rich and smooth, loaded up with spicy dark fruits and has a nice touch of toast from its 18 months in French oak.
Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Intense ripe fruit with a hint of floral on the nose. Complex layers of blackberry and liquorice with fruit sweetness and spice on the palate. Full bodied with well balanced oak giving a toasty, vanillin finish. 100% French oak Hogsheads – 18 months."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Gorgeously fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows blackberry, violet, toasted spice and roasted nut aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity, leading to a lengthy, satisfying finish. Upfront and generous, offering fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2032."

5 Stars & Top 5, Cuisine Australian Shiraz Tasting, June 2024 (2019 Vintage)
"Dark and densely coloured with concentrated dark fruit intensity on the nose. The palate is full bodied and imposing with opulent dark fruit flavours, vanilla and mocha warm spice. The tannin is well integrated and the finish is sumptuous, long and velvety."
