Empyrean was the first bottling under the Reschke label, it remains the estate flagship, crafted from the most outstanding vines of Cabernet Sauvignon on the Reschke estate property, only ever released from exceptional vintage years. The grapes are distinctive for their thick skins and modest size, treated to an extended term of age in exclusively new French oak. The barrels are culled and only the finest are considered for inclusion, a powerful, opulently proportioned style, identified by savant Robert Parker as the benchmark for Coonawarra's famed Cabernet Sauvignon.
