It's always great to hear from people who try our wines, so it was a pleasure to read a recent email we were sent from James Keneally of Brisbane, with his tasting notes and food recommendation for our 2009 Kalleske Greenock Shiraz. Thanks James.

An evocative nose of black fruits including blackberry and plums with liquorice, cinnamon and hints of glazed fruits and pudding in the background complemented by dusty oak perfume. With time in the glass the nose evolved to lovely perfumed herbal characters with touches of coffee and prunes. A full rich palate dominated by dark plum fruits and dried figs with blackberry spice and just a touch of blueberry like tannin. Wonderful mouth feel and length aided by fine tannins with just enough grip balanced nicely by lean acidity. This wine shows finesse and power, two seemingly contrasting characteristics that blend superbly. This is the type of wine that you open at an older age and wish you had seen it in its youth. Time is on its side and I am pleased to have experienced this marvelous wine in its early stages of development.
Served with beef cheeks slow cooked for 5 hours. A stunning combination you should try.
