‘Rustica’ is one of the brands under Z Wines, the Barossa Valley family winegrowing business run by sisters Janelle and Kristen Zerk. The Zerk family have been in the district for over 150 years and their Lyndoch-sited vineyard is tended by the fifth generation. The wines are rich and very well-made in the traditional style for me. The ‘Rustica’ wines are more accessible than the top tier ‘Z Wine’ bottlings, but lack nothing in flavour and richness. The ‘Rustica’ ‘Reserve’ wines are a serious step above in richness and completeness. www.zwine.com.au Click here to see my recent reviews of the wines available in the country. They are imported by Kakurangi Wines. www.kahurangiwine.com Here, I review the new Rustica ‘Reserve’ Shiraz 2015.
