Reid Bosward is such a star.
His winemaking skills are well known and the brilliant wines he knocks out at Kaesler in the Barossa have been described by the world's most powerful wine critic, Robert Parker, as ‘gentle giants.’
We love them too and reckon you've just got to respect anyone who calls one wine ‘Old Bastard’ and another ‘The Bogan’. And his good bloke status has just been set in stone because he's just offered us a small parcel from his exciting new Nashwauk vineyard in McLaren Vale at a price that makes mate's rates look like extortion.
We've been blown away by this wine and you will be too. If you like ‘em rich and chewy, smooth and curvy’ this is the wine for you. It's packed tighter than a Bombay bus with dense fruit flavour and has a beautifully supple texture and brilliantly managed tannins.
If you can find a better McLaren Vale shiraz at this price it probably fell of the back of a truck.
Has it got a Halliday rating or is it a new range that is yet to be rated?
