Troy Kalleske - Baron of Barossa

It is with great pleasure we report, that Sunday,  November 4th saw Troy Kalleske inducted as a 'Baron of Barossa'. This is a tremendous honour and one which Troy and the team at Kalleske are immensely proud of.

"The Wine Fraternity, Barons of Barossa was founded in 1974 by a group of influential Barossa winemakers. George Kolarovich of the Barossa Co-operative [Kaiser Stuhl] was elected as the first Grand Master. Other founding Barons were the late Wyndham Hill-Smith [Yalumba], Colin Gramp [Orlando], the late Bill Seppelt [Seppelts], the late Sir Condor Laucke, Bruce Hoffmann, Peter Lehmann and the late Cyril Henschke.

The Fraternity was modelled on similar organisations which exist in Europe whose aims are to promote wines of the regions and also carry out philanthropic and charitable works.

The Barons of Barossa are a recognised part of the fabric of Barossa culture and continue to play a colourful and symbolic role. The Fraternity’s motto is “Glory to Barossa”
