Description

Kalleske’s Moppa Shiraz is a proper expression of its namesake patch of Barossa dirt - organic, expressive, and deeply rooted in family history. The fruit comes from ten Shiraz blocks on the Kalleske estate at Moppa, including vines planted as early as 1961. A small portion of Petit Verdot and Viognier is blended in to add energy and aromatic lift, but it’s Shiraz that leads the charge here.

This is bold and generous, as you’d expect from the Barossa, but what sets it apart is its balance. The fruit is plush but not overdone, the tannins are firm but measured, and there’s just enough oak to bring it all into focus. It’s the kind of wine that wears its richness with ease - powerful, yes, but grounded.

Certified organic and biodynamic, grown and made entirely on the family’s Greenock property, this is Shiraz with both heritage and edge.

"Plum conserve, blueberry, boysenberry, spice, cola, licorice, dark chocolate, fruitcake and tapenade… Full bodied and pure with powdery tannins and plush dark fruits on the finish."

94 points - "Deep magenta-edged crimson with aromas of plum conserve, blueberry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of fine spice, cola, licorice, dark chocolate, fruitcake, pan juices, olive tapenade and earth. Full bodied and fruit pure with a powdery tannin backdrop and some nice sinew to accompany the plush dark and black fruits on the back end." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Value for money

    At 94 points this is such good value. Needs some time to open up!

In 1853 our Kalleske farm and vineyard was established at Moppa, a small sub-district of Greenock in the Barossa’s North-West. The Moppa district was a flourishing settlement of pioneering farming families and gold miners. There were few schools in the region, so local parents established the Moppa Public School in 1873 to give their children a formal education. Located on our Kalleske property, generations of the Kalleske family attended this school until its closure in 1935.

Sourced entirely from our Kalleske Moppa vineyard, a trace of Petit Verdot and Viognier has been added to this Shiraz giving it a contemporary edge. This is a genuine hand made wine that’s been grown, vintaged and matured on our Kalleske estate in Moppa.
