Norbert’s Story
Norbert ‘Norb’ O’Reilly – 1891 – 1917
One of five pioneering O’Reilly brothers in Lamington National Park, Norb spent the years between 1912 to 1916 clearing the rainforest and establishing his home one the mountain, which comprised of his own slab hut and orchard. He joined the allied offensive in Europe during the First World War and was killed during the battle of Menin Road in Belgium on the 23rd of September 1917. Norb was 26 years old. His gravestone in Etaples Military Cemetery in France has a poem he wrote about missing Cainbable Creek that ran below his property at O’Reilly’s.
When you enjoy this wine, be sure to raise a glass in Norb’s memory.
Norbert Reserve Sangiovese 2023 – 750ml
Introducing our 2023 Norbert Reserve Sangiovese, a bright ruby-red wine with fresh aromas of sour cherry and juicy plum. The palate is vibrant, supported by lively acidity and fine, chalky tannins. These elements carry through to a persistent, satisfying finish.
This Sangiovese is reminiscent of Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, with its balance of red fruit, subtle earthiness, and food-friendly structure. It pairs beautifully with tomato-based dishes, roasted meats, hard cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own. Enjoy now or cellar confidently until at least 2030.
