Rhelma’s Story
Rhelma O’Reilly – Vintage 1932
Rhelma was a mountain and horse lover from the start, carried up the mountain on horseback at just two weeks old. She was one of only three second-generation O’Reillys, doing school correspondence with cousins Vince and Peter.
At just four, Rhelma still recalls her father Bernard lacing up his boots to search Lamington National Park — ultimately finding the survivors of the Stinson crash.
At the Retreat, guests nicknamed Rhelma “Shirley Temple” for her curls and charm, though her father called her “Imp” — a mischievous little devil she admits was probably more accurate!
Our Rhelma Reserve Rosé is a fresh Sangiovese from Queensland’s picturesque South Burnett region. This Rosé unveils a pale salmon hue, with delicate aromas of red berries and citrus. On the palate, bright and fresh notes are enhanced by subtle savoury undertones, adding depth to the wine’s crisp, dry finish. It’s elegance makes it a perfect pairing with grilled prawns.
Enjoy our Rhelma Reserve Rosé now or cellar with confidence until 2032.
