Kalleske Moppa Shiraz

A certified organic and biodynamic Shiraz from seventh-generation Barossa pioneers, the Kalleske family. Moppa delivers luscious blue and black fruits, sweet spice and floral lift, balanced by elegant natural tannins and refined oak. Vibrant, harmonious and deeply expressive, this Shiraz reflects both the purity of its terroir and the Kalleske legacy of sustainable craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fragrant notes of blueberry, blackberry and violet mingle with clove, cocoa and a touch of toasty oak. The palate is rich yet poised—dark fruits framed by silky tannins and gentle spice. A trace of Viognier adds perfume, while Petit Verdot lends depth. Finely textured and lingering, it finishes with energy, warmth and generosity.

Craftsmanship & Story

Since 1853, the Kalleske family has farmed the Moppa district of the Barossa Valley, where low-yielding vines thrive in sandy loam over deep red clay. Today, seventh-generation winemaker Troy Kalleske crafts wines from this heritage estate with a light hand, allowing organic and biodynamic fruit to express the vineyard’s natural vitality and depth.

Special Features

Moppa Shiraz blends fruit from ten estate blocks, some planted in 1961, uniting complexity and balance. The inclusion of Petit Verdot and Viognier adds depth and fragrance, while French oak maturation enhances texture and polish. Sustainably produced, it stands as a model of vibrant, terroir-true Barossa Shiraz with modern finesse.
