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.

Empyrean is Latin for the highest sphere in which the purist elements of life exist’.

The vines are meticulously hand pruned as one measure, to keep the vineyards balanced and yields low. The result is small thick-skinned berries expressing pure Coonawarra character. The resulting wine is complex and lengthy, with malolactic fermentation and maturation being completed in only hand selected new French oak. Each vintage is scrutinized and only the best of them make it through, ensuring quality parameters are met. When they are not achieved, this wine will be blended back into our next offering and not released. The result is a distinguished, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that certainly leaves a lasting impression.

An elegant, well made, wine that is ageing very gracefully. The nose and palate, “Has memories of plums and shadows of cherries,” according to one judge. Lovely! Price: $150.00; September October 2021; Rating: 97 Points; Winestate Magazine

Richly fruited and wonderfully aromatic, the wine shows cassis, cocoa, cedar, game and subtle tobacco characters on the nose, followed by a powerfully expressed palate delivering multi-layered mouthfeel and plush texture. Beautifully framed by chalky tannins, finishing long and delicious. Drink: to 2030; Rating: 96 Points; Wine Orbit
