Kalleske is a key producer in the biodynamic/organic wine scene in Australia, and they have always been known for their ripe, drinker-friendly wines. Here, the 2020 Old Vine Grenache clocks in at 15% alcohol (although it feels a little more robust than that through the finish), but nothing seems to deter the fruit on the front of the palate from shining with its own internal energy. It pulses, this wine, but the alcohol may put some hairs on your chest...

From dry-grown vines planted in 1935, the 2016 Old Vine Grenache is a beauty, aged in older oak. Subtle garrigue and dried-spice notes accent black cherry fruit in this lush, easy-drinking wine. It's full-bodied, creamy-textured and long, with a real succulence to the finish.

Delicate herbal and rose-like floral notes feature on the nose of the 2015 Old Vine Grenache, from vines planted in 1935. Raspberries mingle with dark chocolate on the full-bodied palate but remain largely fresh, despite a touch of warmth on the long, silky finish. Watch the serving temperature closely with this wine, and drink it over the next few years while it remains vibrant.

Dark, fleshy plum and cherry flavors are ripe, scented with clove and vanilla, appealing and supple on the long, spicy finish. Drink now through 2026. 200 cases made, 40 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add

Pale to medium garnet colored, the 2014 Grenache Old Vine offers a beautiful perfume of kirsch, raspberry coulis and roses with white pepper and cinnamon stick nuances. Soft, satiny textured, full-bodied and seductively spicy in the mouth, it finishes with a pleasant savory / peppery character.
