Kalleske Johann Georg Shiraz 2019

Shiraz | Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia

Johann Georg Kalleske migrated from Prussia to South Australia in 1838 aboard the Prince George. Johann’s descendants now meticulously tend the Johann Georg vineyard planted two centuries ago. An amazing wine, produced in tiny quantities and destined for long term cellaring, Johann Georg Shiraz is truly something special.

The rich and voluminous Johann Georg Shiraz is a classic Barossa style with dark berry and chocolate aromas and flavours, dense tannins and underlying elegant classy oak.

“Kalleske Johann Georg Shiraz is one of the oldest surviving vineyards in the Barossa and Australia.  It is the oldest certified organic/biodynamic vineyard in the Barossa and perhaps Australia.  This natural way of farming these ancient vines, combined with dry-growing, hand-pruning and traditional minimalist techniques in the winery including native yeast fermentation means this wine is genuinely unique.  It truly represents the time (vintage) and place (soil/location) where it is grown as well as expressing a living history of Barossan and Australian wine growing.”
