Kalleske Shiraz Johann Georg 2009, crafted by Kalleske Wines in Australia’s Barossa Valley, is a monumental wine from old vines, named after the winery’s founder. The 2009 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with intricate layers of black pepper, spice, and toasted oak. The palate is rich, full-bodied, and impeccably structured, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the concentrated fruit. Notes of mocha, leather, and minerality add depth, while the finish is long, powerful, and refined, promising significant aging potential. Kalleske’s organic winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of intensity and elegance. Sourced from low-yielding vines, this Shiraz reflects the unique terroir of Barossa’s Greenock subregion. Perfect for pairing with grilled ribeye or roasted game, this Johann Georg Shiraz is a collector’s treasure, offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a bold and refined Australian red with exceptional depth and character.
