Reillys Wines
A heritage cellar door and restaurant in an 1856 bluestone cottage in slate-village Mintaro.
Reillys occupies the old bootmaker's cottage in Mintaro, a State Heritage-listed slate village built almost entirely from local slate. The 1856 bluestone building houses both the cellar door and a well-regarded restaurant, and the combination - historic stone, a leafy courtyard, generous Clare cooking - makes it one of the valley's most complete days out.
The wines run the full Clare gamut, with a benchmark Watervale Riesling and old-vine reds at the heart of the range. The restaurant leans hearty and seasonal, the sort of place built for a long lunch with a bottle of estate Shiraz.
Mintaro itself is worth the detour - a near-untouched colonial village - and Reillys gives you a reason to linger in it.
