Kalleske - moving on up

I first tried a Kalleske wine about a month ago. I have not been inspired enough recently to blog any wine at all, but now its time to get GoodGreen drops flowing again - not only because of the wine coming out of this vineyard but also because I have a couple of friends who have re-ignited my passion for sharing who's out there producing delicious organic and bio-dynamic vino.

Kalleske ... moving on up. The first wine I tasted was a 2008 organic Shiraz. The next one I tasted was a bio-dynamic 2009 (? forget to take notes - oops) Shiraz. Both were classic Shiraz in my book - spicy and earthy with that full mouth filling 'oomph' that only a Shiraz can give. Without the full vintage details I might be leading you a stray here, but I will say this - the bio-dynamic Shiraz was smoother and fuller and probably more expensive (don't know for sure as a friend shared this second wine with me). All I can recommend is to try them both, you won't be disappointed. I was just personally curious with the difference and believe that moving from organic to bio-dynamic is a notch above.

My experience with Kalleske has only just begun - as you can see from their web site they have a very good portfolio on offer and they have been named in the Top 10 of Decanter World Wine awards of organic and bio-dynamic wine with their 2009 Moppa Shriaz.

Recommendation - drink these good green drops and share the love!

Happy Days,

Sam
