Rennie Estate Winery, a virtual winery with very real vineyard, utilizes the Appassimento method and the Vineland Research Institute to research the best way to make his concentrated wines. Having Shiraz Mottiar and Malivoire winery to make his wine is a blessing.

⇑ Rennie Estate Winery Scarata 2011
The 2011 Rennie Estate Winery Scarata, made with Cabernet Sauvignon using the appassimento method and spent 18 months in new French Oak. The wine has captivating aromas of woody cranberry, cherry, raspberry, cedar and oak. It is a medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity wine; BALANCED with crisp acidity, grippy tannins and a long finish. Drink by itself or with red meats; drink now – 2020++. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 91 pts – recommended for its quality.
