Deep, powerful and impeccably structured, it captures the essence of Greenock’s ancient soils with remarkable polish—an iconic Shiraz that balances intensity with refinement and offers exceptional cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep garnet with inky purple intensity, this wine opens with lifted aromas of blackberry, dark plum and blackcurrant layered with baking spice, roasted meats and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, delivering concentrated cherry liqueur, plum compote and subtle spice, framed by firm yet polished tannins. A fine thread of acidity brings balance, leading to a long, dry finish with lingering cassis and savoury depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kalleske Wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluten-free; Vegan-friendly; Organic; Biodynamic; Sustainable winegrowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKalleske Wines is a seventh-generation family estate rooted in the Barossa Valley since 1853. The Eduard Shiraz honours Karl Heinrich ‘Eduard’ Kalleske, drawing fruit from heritage vineyards in Greenock where old vines thrive in sandy loam over deep red clay and limestone. Fully certified organic and biodynamic since 1998, the estate combines traditional farming with minimal-intervention winemaking to preserve purity and site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from “Survivor” and “Centenarian” vines aged up to 115 years, Eduard Shiraz is crafted in small batches using native yeast fermentation and hand pump-overs. Matured for two years in a mix of new and seasoned French and American oak, it is bottled unfined and unfiltered to retain depth and authenticity. The result is a powerful yet seamless Barossa Shiraz with remarkable structure, complexity and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecognition \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly regarded for its depth, structure and benchmark old-vine character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – David Sly, Decanter (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Angus Hughson, Vinous (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Wine-Searcher Critic Average (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Halliday Wine Companion (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – James Suckling (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Wine-Searcher Critic Average (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Kalleske Wines Review Sheet (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95+ Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Andrew Caillard MW (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Vinous Media (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Kalleske Wines Review Sheet (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Kalleske Wines Review Sheet (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese accolades highlight Eduard Shiraz as a standout expression of old-vine Barossa winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis commanding Shiraz thrives alongside rich, deeply flavoured dishes.
