Kalleske Fordson Zinfandel

Zinfandel/Primitivo | Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia

Fordson is a single vineyard Zinfandel from the Kalleske property.  The hand-pruned vines are low-yielding and are grown in shallow, sandy loam soil over superb deep red clay.

Fordson Zinfandel is dark magenta-red in colour.

It is expressly fragrant with emanations of raspberry jam, sweet cloves, flowers, red liquorice, stewed rhubarb, vintage fortified and a hint of wintergreen.

The palate is richly flavoured with generous juicy blue fruits dominating.  It is full-bodied with an opulent plushness throughout.  Tannins are mildly evident at the end relieving the lavish fruit.  Seasoned barrel maturation gently adds character whilst leaving the powerful varietal fruit in command.  The finish is very long, completing a beautiful wine.  Approachable and fruit forward, Fordson Zinfandel can be enjoyed now or over the next five years.
