Head on over to the blog to read the latest Q+A with Troy.

Shiraz and Grenache have been the backbone of our Kalleske vineyard for over a century and for good reason with our red earth and temperate climate well suited to these varieties. For the same reason, Tempranillo is befitting to our property and we are delighted to release the inaugural Tempranillo from our Kalleske vineyard. Tempranillo originates from Spain, where it is often referred to as Spain’s “noble grape”. It has been grown there for many centuries and was first planted in Australia in 1908.
2010 Kalleske Dodger Tempranillo is medium red purple in colour. The aroma displays interesting complexity with rich fruits of blackcurrant and cherry combined with herbs, clove and nutmeg spice, tobacco, violets and a hint of earth. The palate is extremely alluring with a combination of sweet and savoury characters. It is medium to full bodied with fleshy fruit balanced by integrated chewy rustic tannins. The wine is well structured and harmonious. A lingering savoury finish completes a varietally true and flavoursome Tempranillo. Dodger can be enjoyed now or over the next eight years.

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
A great result for Kalleske in the current 2012 Edition of the 'Australian Wine Companion' by James Halliday as we were awarded 5 Red Stars and a glowing review of our wines.
-def: Outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity. Will have at least two wines rated at 94 points or above, and had a five-star rating for the previous two years.
Wine: 2008 Kalleske Johann Georg Shiraz // Rating: 94 // 5 Stars // Drink to: 2025 // Review:
“An impressive blockbuster; dense colour, with a staggering level of dark black fruit on display, a savoury element lurking beneath; the fruit has a desiccated edge, and oak plays a pivotal role; this being said the wine shows life and vitality. If you like them massive then this is for you”.
Wine: 2009 Kalleske Clarry’s GSM // Rating: 94 // Special Value // Drink to: 2016 // Review:
“Dark in colour, and complex in character, the fruit here blends seamlessly to offer red and black fruits, loads of spice, complex Provencal herbs and a little salty edge for freshness; lively, fresh and more than just a little bit fun; excellent value”.
