The Kalleske family has been farming the property since 1853, making it one of the region's longest-established winegrowing families. Today, Kalleske is recognised as the Barossa Valley's oldest certified organic and biodynamic vineyard, farm and winery. The Greenock Shiraz is a single-vineyard wine sourced from low-yielding estate-grown vines, reflecting the power, richness and regional character for which Greenock is renowned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 Barossa Valley vintage was excellent. Winter and spring were drier and slightly warmer than average, resulting in earlier budburst and flowering. Summer brought timely rainfall and moderate temperatures with no significant heat events, allowing the vines to develop balanced canopies and crop loads. Consistent ripening conditions continued through autumn, producing fruit with excellent flavour concentration and balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit from the Greenock vineyard block was de-stemmed into open-top fermenters and fermented warm with hand pump-overs twice daily for eight days on skins before pressing. The wine was then matured in a combination of 30% new and seasoned American and French oak hogsheads. Natural malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel, followed by approximately 14 months of maturation before bottling. The wine is certified organic, biodynamic and vegan friendly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Profoundly deep and inky black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rich fruit cake, ripe plum, sweet and savoury spice, cedar, toasty oak, cocoa powder, treacle and subtle earthy notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full-bodied and immensely concentrated with waves of dark fruit, supported by sleek tannins and integrated oak.
