2017 Kalleske Shiraz Johann Georg Old Vine Single Vineyard

“The family of first-generation settler Johann Georg Kalleske Shiraz established a mixed farm at Greenock in 1853. The organic and biodynamic estate is now regarded as one of the region’s great ‘grower’ vineyards, and it has been a key source for many extraordinary Australian wines, including Penfolds Grange. The ‘ancestor vines’ (aged 140+ years) are hand-pruned and hand-harvested, and the rich and voluminous Johann Georg Shiraz is a classic Barossa style. Spectacular saturated color and very deep black crimson hue showing superb glass cling. Perfumed aromas reveal lifted top notes of violets and blackberry followed by some dark plum, currants and red raspberries. The palate is an explosive flavor experience framed by perfectly integrated, silky smooth tannins. A Profound Barossa Shiraz.”
