The Reschke history and its close relationship with Coonawarra began in 1906 with the establishment of a prime Hereford stud in the heart of the region. It is this cattle grazing heritage that is reflected in the Reschke bull logo, and the names of the premium Reschke wines.

This Pinot Noir is a medium bodied firmly structured wine with a round and textured palate. Expressions of vibrant crisp red fruit, tart plum, red cherry with overtones of textured forest floor and subtle oak complete a complex varietal cool climate Pinot Noir.

The Limestone Coast Pinot used here underwent a brief cold soak before a seven-day ferment and a period of maturation in a range of seasoned French oak. The colour is a pale garnet, crimson. This is very much a savoury style of Pinot, with notes of mushrooms, undergrowth, red fruits, sour cherries and smoked sausage meats. Those sour cherry notes move to the fore on the palate. A sleek palate with very fine tannins, the wine is of medium length with a lingering finish. A most attractive Pinot, excellent value, which will drink well for the next five to six years.
