Chateau Rieussec has benefited greatly from being owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (the same family behind Lafite). Since they took over in 1984, the vineyard area has grown from nearly 40 hectares to about 90 hectares. They've also invested in the cellars, allowing the winemaking team to better handle the different small lots from various parts of the vineyard. The vineyard is planted with 90% Semillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc, and 3% Muscadelle, and the wines are aged in about 50% new French oak barrels. The chateau also makes a second wine called Carmes de Rieussec, which focuses more on aromatic and citrus flavors. Barrels with these traits are chosen to become Carmes de Rieussec after 18 months of aging.
Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
