Fans of great Barossa Shiraz, please take note. Kalleske is a fantastic source of a much loved wine style, combining organic practices and brilliant winemaking to create something that captures the appeal of this part of Australia, this famous grape, and it should be added, established old-vine concentration too.
Gaining one of the highest scores of the Organic Masters 2020, the Greenock Shiraz – named after the Barossa sub-district where Kalleske is based – is crammed with intense black fruit, fresh plums, and a touch of dried mint and black pepper, and a hint of sweet balsamic, complemented by the indulgent characters from oak-ageing, such as coconut and milk chocolate. It’s layered, delicious, and persistent.
