Kalleske Moppa Shiraz 2009
Our 2009 Kalleske Moppa Shiraz is doing quite well lately, receiving another Gold medal at the recent International Wine Challenge. The 2009 Moppa is certainaly our favourite vintage, so it's nice to see others are feeling the same way. To see what the fuss is about why not place an order and try it for yourself.

Hand-picking Johann Georg Shiraz - 2011
Just a quick update to let you know things have been moving along nicely as the sounds, smells and colours of vintage consume the winery.
Below are a few photo's of the family hand-picking the Johann Georg Shiraz, last Thursday, April 7th. The vines here were planted in 1875.

Friday Lunch - 11.03.2011
Friday lunches have turned into quite a treat at Kalleske as we all take turns cooking lunch for each other, which is always accompanied by a nice bottle or two. However it has been noted there’s been a bit of help from a wife or in some cases a mother to produce the goods on the table.
Highlights so far would be:
Troy’s ‘Gourmet’ Pizza’s, Tony’s Hotdog’s with the lot, Andy’s (Wife’s) Veg Lasagne followed by a strawberry vanilla Oreo ice cream, Samantha’s Cannelloni and Darren’s (Mums) Apple Crumble.
Teddy waiting for scraps
However with the first day of vintage getting underway today, we will be opting for the more convenient ‘occasional’ Friday BBQ until vintage runs its course. Teddy doesn’t seem to mind the extra scraps at lunch as he waits patiently under the table tho (see photo above).
Vintage 2011 update next week.
