Why It’s On Our Shelves
Elegant, warm & beautifully mature — a refined English red blend with depth, structure and Norfolk character
Produced in Norfolk by Winbirri →
Winbirri Vineyard’s Reserve is one of the estate’s most admired red wines — a carefully crafted blend showcasing the richness, structure and elegance that English red wine can achieve in the hands of a skilled winemaker. Produced from hand-selected parcels of fruit grown in the Yare Valley, this wine benefits from extended ageing and precision in both vineyard and cellar, resulting in a red that is smooth, warming and beautifully rounded.
On the nose, expect layered aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, plum, dried herbs and gentle spice, with subtle oak influence providing sweetness, warmth and complexity. The palate is refined and medium-bodied, offering flavours of ripe red and black fruits, soft tannins, delicate mocha and a hint of vanilla, all balanced by Winbirri’s hallmark freshness. Long, smooth and elegantly structured, this is a red that truly comes into its own with food — or when savoured slowly on its own.
Winbirri Reserve highlights the remarkable potential of English reds in warmer pockets of the region. Mature, expressive and confidently made, it is perfect for anyone who enjoys reds with finesse rather than heaviness.
