Last Saturday we had a wonderful tasting with customers and WineClub members to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary in our Sandyford shop.
Troy Kalleske, winemaker at Kalleske and Red Nectar in the Barossa Valley was over for a visit and we took the opportunity to taste our way through some great wines from his range.
Amusingly Troy was asked to "autograph" some rare bottles for customers..it was the nearest thing to "Wine Groupies" I've ever seen..
Wines we tasted:
Kalleske Clarrys Grenache/Shiraz 2006
Kalleske Clarrys Semillon / Chenin Blanc 2006
Red Nectar Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Red Nectar Shiraz 2005
Pirathon Shiraz 2005
Kalleske Old Vine Grenache 2005
Kalleske Johann Georg Shiraz 2005
Kalleske Lorraine Semillon 2006
Kalleske JMK Fortified Shiraz 2006
A wonderful range of wines..everyone had their faves as usual..I thought the Clarrys Red and Red Nectar Shiraz showed particularly well on the night..It was also very nice to try some special and rare wines from Kalleske, like the Old Vine Grenache and Johann Georg..
I've no doubt it was the first time many customers would have got to try a Fortified Shiraz..I reckon that would be just great on Christmas Day with some pudding or a few mince pies..
