James Halliday has given our 2010 Johann Georg Shiraz a glowing review, which we should point out has just been released to order

The Best of Barossa Valley's 2010 Shiraz

Kalleske 2010 Johann Georg Shiraz

Rating: 96

"Dense purple-red; the grapes were hand-picked from the vineyard planted in 1875, the wine named to honour Johann Georg Kalleske, who arrived in SA in 1835. The yield of 1 tonne/hectare is obvious in this densely black-fruited wine, with its undercurrent of spicy, savoury, ripe tannins, the French and American oak integrated courtesy of the last phase of primary ferment carried out in barrel. Barossa Valley shiraz at its best" - Drink by: 2050

James Halliday's 20 Great Reds

It's a great honour to have our 2009 Kalleske Johann Georg Shiraz selected by James Halliday in his '20 Great Reds' list in the current Wine Companion magazine. Here's a little of what Halliday had to say about the wine:

“From a single block of vines planted in 1875, and made in a very small quantity... It is very complex and intense, yet little more than medium-bodied, having a tapestry of aromas and flavours similar to Eduard, with great length. How great will the ‘10 be?” - James Halliday, Wine Companion June/July 2012
