Kalleske - Zeitgeist Shiraz 2023

In South Australia’s Barossa Valley, the Kalleske family has been farming and growing grapes since 1853 near the village of Greenock. The Kalleske family are active practitioners of sustainable farming. They are caretakers of the land and not only want to maintain the environment but improve it for future generations. The winery is certified biodynamic/organic.

The 2023 Zeitgeist Shiraz presents a deep inky purple hue, setting the stage for an enticing experience. Its vivid aromatics burst forth, showcasing fresh ripe grapes, plum jam, and a hint of clove spice, intertwined with raisins, violets, and liquorice notes. This bright and primal bouquet captivates with its intense dark fruit character.

On the palate, the wine reveals a rich tapestry of black and blue fruits, including blackcurrant, plum, and blueberry, all in full force. The vibrant flavors are complemented by pepper and spice, reflecting the unique qualities of the vintage. Lightly grippy tannins create a pleasant structure, leading to a long, dry finish.

With its abundant fruit and radiant purity, the Zeitgeist Shiraz is best enjoyed now, allowing its primal characters to shine.
