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

Anderson Hill 'O Series' Shiraz 2018 (RRP $45 WM $38.90)
$38.90
Anderson Hill O Series 2018 Shiraz has taken out the ‘Best In Show’ at the world’s largest and most influential wine competition, the Decanter World Wine Awards!
The wine is dark in colour, with lots of episcopal purple; the aromas are bright, lifted and billowing, not just cherry-fresh but with some billowing cherry blossom in there too. In the mouth, the wine is deep, round, poised and lively: an explosion of vivid fruits with a peppery finish.” – Trophy & 97 Points Decanter DWWA 2020
Lifted red cherry, plum and fig are matched with florals and baking spices as well as hints of savoury, earthy notes. The palate features red cherry and cranberry notes which are framed with lovely natural acidity and long fine tannins. A beautifully textured wine with plush, persistent length.
