2012 Kalleske Clarry's Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

A blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, Clarry’s is named in honour of winemaker, Troy Kalleske’s, Grandfather, Clarence “Clarry” Kalleske, who farmed the Kalleske vineyards from the late 1920’s until his retirement in the 1990’s. To preserve the superb fresh fruit flavours of the Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, the wines were only aged in very old oak hogsheads for a period of six months. This wine is 100% Organic / Biodynamic as certified by Australian Certified Organic.

Troy Kalleske rates 2012 as a fantastic vintage producing outstanding wines that will be amongst the best to come out of the Kalleske winery.
Outstanding colour saturation displaying an opaque deep dark purple black colour with deep dark purple hue. The nose possesses good intensity with youthful scents of inky blackberry, dark raspberry and liquorice followed by some spice notes. Rich, joosy and youthful the palate delivers opulent flavours of black raspberry, ripe blackberry, inky liquorice and spice. Slightly dryish finish. Fine grained tannins. Long aftertaste of dark raspberry, blackberry juice, inky liquorice and spice. The essence of freshly crushed berries in a bottle.
