2022 Kalleske Greenock Shiraz

The Greenock Shiraz is classic Kalleske - deep, dark and proudly Barossan, but with the kind of polish and care you get from a family that’s been farming the same land for over 150 years. It comes from a single vineyard on their certified organic and biodynamic estate in Greenock, using cuttings that trace back to vines planted in the late 1800s.

The 2022 vintage marked 21 years since Kalleske’s first official vintage, and this release feels like a celebration. It’s generous and structured without being over the top. There’s plenty of dark fruit, a good hit of spice, and a firm, earthy backbone from 14 months in both French and American oak. Everything here is done on site - grown, made, matured - by the Kalleske family, and you can taste the continuity.

It’s a rich, layered Shiraz that hits all the right notes for fans of serious Barossa reds, but it’s also composed and balanced enough to go the distance.

"Vivid colour and vibrant freshness… Clean tilled soil, raspberry, redcurrant, wild sage, blackberry, and a funky vineyard-floor edge… Earthy vitality, plump palate, and rich plummy persistence. Drink 2024–2040."
