The Inaugural 2010 Kalleske Dodger Tempranillo

Shiraz and Grenache have been the backbone of our Kalleske vineyard for over a century and for good reason with our red earth and temperate climate well suited to these varieties.  For the same reason, Tempranillo is befitting to our property and we are delighted to release the inaugural Tempranillo from our Kalleske vineyard.  Tempranillo originates from Spain, where it is often referred to as Spain’s “noble grape”.  It has been grown there for many centuries and was first planted in Australia in 1908.

2010 Kalleske Dodger Tempranillo is medium red purple in colour.  The aroma displays interesting complexity with rich fruits of blackcurrant and cherry combined with herbs, clove and nutmeg spice, tobacco, violets and a hint of earth.  The palate is extremely alluring with a combination of sweet and savoury characters.  It is medium to full bodied with fleshy fruit balanced by integrated chewy rustic tannins.  The wine is well structured and harmonious.  A lingering savoury finish completes a varietally true and flavoursome Tempranillo.  Dodger can be enjoyed now or over the next eight years.
