Kalleske Eduard Shiraz 08 - 750ml

“Eduard is sourced from three vineyard blocks on the Kalleske property that were planted between 1905 and 1960. Vines are dry grown and produce low yields. It is named after Karl Heinrich ‘Eduard’ Kalleske who worked the Kalleske vineyards from 1853 until the 1880s...Eduard is an intense, powerful and full-bodied wine exhibiting dense classic Barossa old vine Shiraz characters. Inky black fruit flavours abound together with harmonized tannins, subtle oak complexity a sturdy structure and great length. Eduard is a sophisticated wine of the highest calibre and is worthy of cellaring for many years.” Kalleske, Barossa Valley.

“Impenetrable colour; the bouquet is chock full of sweet black fruit, mocha and fruitcake spice; the palate is incredibly warm and loaded with sweet fruit showing a raisined edge; despite this, the flavours are defined and the finish long, but be warned, this wine is a commitment. Rating: 91, Drink by: 2020, Alcohol: 15%” James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011.
