The Wine Front - Mike Bennie

Sweet scented, rose hip tea and raspberries, some green herb and a touch of mixed/nondescript botanicals wafting through. Juicy-soft in the palate, medium weight, very bright, a bit sweet fruited but with fine tannin shaping things nicely and a good screw of herbs n spice to finish, lingering. Quite dark fruited in essence, but lots of freshness and tension in the mix, elevating things well. Good drinking.

Halliday Companion - Dave Brookes

It's grenache Jim, but not as we know it. Before us, is Kalleske's distinctly lo-fi take on the much-loved variety. Certified biodynamic, single-vineyard fruit, wild fermented with stalks and skins for 10 days, it cuts a decidedly funky, pinot-esque line across the tongue with Campari-like amaro and herbal nuances, souk-like spice and crunchy red-fruited verve. Wild-eyed and sapidly beguiling drinking.

The Real Review - Huon Hooke

Medium to light red colour with a tint of purple and a vegetal, bunchy and quite complex bouquet, which translates onto a medium-bodied, soft-textured palate with again a lot of vegetal bunch character allied to sweet red fruits. The whole entity is succulently fruit sweet and supple. Delicious, and almost pinot-like. (Harvested early in the season; wild fermented with stalks and skins; no oak)
