When wine is aged in fine oak barrels, a portion of it evaporates - winemakers call this the ‘Angel’s Share’. It was on this sentiment the Koonara angel was born.
We love the people who make the journey to come and visit our cellar door; they have Wanderlust. They are the daring explorer, the lover of life with tales of adventures and experiences from their many trips. This wine’s for you, intrepid travellers...
Winemakers comments
This wine has huge colour and decanting this wine for an hour will allow you to see the true depth of flavour, but also show you that this wine is almost unique at this price, in that it will get better over 10 years.
Tiny berries went into this wine - you can tell by the deep colour. The flavour comes from the skin, so the smaller the berry, the more colour and flavour.
No residual sugar, below organic levels of sulphur, and organically grown.
This wine will age beautifully until 2030.
We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them. Dru Reschke - owner and vigneron

The calibre of this multi-award winning wine is immediately apparent by the lovely dense purple colour. Abundant fleshy fruit characters of mulberry and stewed plums fill the mouth whilst subtle oak tannins add length to the palate. This wine shows true characteristics of Merlot; it is soft round and elegant and will enhance any dining experience.

A rich purple colour, with aromas of classic dark fruits, leading into a palate of black current, ripe cherries and a hint of spice. A well rounded medium bodied wine, with nicely balanced tannins and a lingering finish. This wine is made from select parcels of fruit from blocks four, five and six. Picked slightly earlier than average, the Cabernet Sauvignon had a Baume of 14.3, and the Merlot 14.7. The wine has been aged for twelve months in a combination of French and Russian barriques. This wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to develop in the bottle for many years.
