Kalleske Eduard Shiraz 2020 (Barossa Valley)
Dozen Price: $1019.88
RRP: $90.00
The Kalleske Eduard Shiraz 2020 boasts a deep black colour and a thick purple edge. Its aroma is undeniably charming, showcasing the classic characteristics of old vine Shiraz. Ripe blackberry, stewed plums, tiramisu, cedar polish, smoked meats, and nutty oak all contribute to its expressive scent. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is robust and highly concentrated, with luscious dark fruit flavours. The tannins provide a chewy structure and a slight grip, balancing out the plush richness of the wine. Its acidity is perfectly balanced, keeping the flavours fresh and vibrant. The influence of mocha oak adds another layer to the already immense ripe fruit. The finish is weighty and long-lasting. While this wine can be enjoyed now, it will truly shine with cellaring for a decade or more.

Winery & Vintage Info
In 1838 Karl Heinrich ‘Eduard’ Kalleske and his three siblings together with their parents Johann Georg and Johanne Dorothea migrated from Prussia. They landed in the newly established colony of South Australia and in 1853 they settled at Greenock in the North-Western Barossa Valley and established our Kalleske farm. Eduard and his wife Anna ‘Rosina’ worked the Kalleske vineyard until the 1880s when their son took over the reins.
Today, six generations later those old vines are still prospering, thanks to the foresight and hard work of our ancestors. We dedicate this wine to Eduard which is from a selection of old vine Shiraz vineyards planted on our Kalleske property between 1905 to 1971. Hand winemaking and two years maturation has resulted in a stunning old vine wine destined for long term cellaring.
Eduard is sourced from three vineyard blocks on the Kalleske property that were planted between 1905 and 1971, Vines are dry grown and produce low yields. The soil is sandy loam with excellent clay subsoil.
The old Shiraz vines were harvested and the grapes de-stemmed into small open top fermenters. The grapes were fermented for 8-11 days on skins where hand pump-overs were employed twice daily. The must was traditionally pressed and immediately filled to new and seasoned French & American oak hogsheads where it completed fermentation. The wine was matured for two years prior to bottling.
