Gold and Silver at successive Winewise competitions. Punters Corner also smashed the record price for their 2004 Cabernet Barrel Series 9, only one year out from vintage, selling for an amazing $33,198.75! "I must confess that I have been dithering like a right old fool over this wine. Dark chocolate, camphor and cedar vanilla bean oak. Very interesting and I do like that!" -Winorama.com.au
"From a severe drought affected vintage comes this floral baby, youthful and pretty with musky elements among lime aromatics, then a firmly bodied palate tight with fine minerally textures, and even now, a sense that its future has a honey glow!" -Tony Love. "Peter Lehmann Rieslings shine regularly on the world stage!" -Jeff Collerson, "Amazing purity of fruit!" -Peter Forrestal
"Torbreck Woodcutter The finest inexpensive Shiraz I have ever tried!" -Robert Parker
Fine Shiraz from good vineyards around Gomersal, Ebeneezer, Krondorf, Marananga and Greenock, hand tended by some of the Barossa's most capable growers.
"An outrageous value, from 10-20-year old vines, radically changing one's opinion on what can be purchased for a mere $20 a bottle!"
-Robert Parker, "The kind of red I liked to drink with a hearty meal after a hard day's work in the wood, & you don't have to be a woodcutter to enjoy it!"
-winemaker David Powell
"Bordeaux -like red offering up superb aromas of black currants, cedar, licorice, good acidity, intensity, and purity!"
-eRobertparker.com
"Much like people, there are some wines that just click with you when you taste them, and this is one such wine. I just love it. Rich, almost cakey, attractive leafy Cabernet characters. Marvellous shape and drive, it feels good to drink. A big finish closes out an outstanding example of Margaret River Cabernet!" -Winorama.com.au
One of the Barossa's leading families, they grew Shiraz for Grange over many vintages. "Make every effort to get in on the ground floor as I predict fame and fortune for Kalleske!" -Robert Parker, "We're not sure that any of our readers should be buying Cote du Rhone any time soon with this wine on the shelves. The coffee, red berries and Christmas spice notes are utterly stunning, the liquid velvet texture is true pleasure. France can't do it, Oz can, Hoorah!" -Matthew Jukes & Tyson Stelzer
"One of the best, if not the best known sauvignon blancs in Australia, never fails to impress!" -Fergus McGhie, "This juts get better and better, it has currants and pears, deep fruit, pineapple too, plenty of tropical fruit, juicy acidity!" -Tim White, "This is so good it should be compulsory at every dinner party!" -Stuart Gregor, "Punchy, aromatic, gooseberry green apple and passionfruit, a bright, breezy and deliciously crisp wine!" -James Halliday
Over the last forty years Penfolds Bin 389 has developed a strong identity for consistency, reliability and exceptional value. Components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. Wine lovers enjoy it because it's delicious and ready to drink immediately upon release.
A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Penfolds Bin 407 highlights the rewards of sensitive vineyard blending, through the bold Cabernet flavours supported by a judicious use of soft oak. Magnificent Cabernet, bursting with a rich panoply of cedary highlights which wrap themselves around the thick berry fruit flavours.
Introduced as one of the first Bin wines within the Penfolds portfolio, it has become an Australian classic. Penfolds Bin 28 is a ripe fleshy warm-climate Shiraz offering structure and generosity of flavour. Bin 128 has claimed an impressive chestful of awards and was twice named Red of the Year at the London International.
Penfolds has chosen sites within Tumba- rumba on the Snowy Ranges to best reflect the Bin 311 style. Relaxed integration between fruit and aged oak, excellent varietal definition, and a subdued yet beguiling nose, Bin 311 combines grapefruit and nectarine flavours with nutty complexities. The palate is steely and dry.

The Kalleskes are one of the Barossa's leading winegrowing families, providing world class Shiraz fruit for Penfolds Grange amongst others, consistently growing some of the Barossa's best grapes. Sixth generation grape grower Troy Kalleske established the Kalleske label, branding what are now recognized as some of Australia's most superior vineyards. The winery operation is situated on the family estate, within the elite appellation of Greenock, where the traditional basket press and barrel store ensure the fruit realises it's full potential.
"Fabulous
smelling wine packed with dark
Barossan goodness and offering things like black fruit, dark chocolate, baking spices (nutmeg, cloves, allspice), roses, tar and a little menthol lift. The oak is unobtrusive and beautifully folded into the wine. On the palate full bodied with rich black fruit, a little raspberry, dark chocolate and spicy flavours. It’s smooth, ripe and long and enormously satisfying to drink. I think it’s probably even better than the 2005…so perhaps I should score it higher. Regardless, I’d recommend getting onto and into a bit of this gear without reservation!"

“The Kalleske lads are at it again!”
-Adelaide Review
"Kalleske’s fruit is full of vibrant character, always impressive on release!"
"Cult wines of the future
While the old Barossa vines still make their mark in long living, luscious Grange, the new wines have the pedigree to become cult wines of the future!”
-James Halliday
"Here’s an
accessible way
to shoehorn some Troy Kalleske genius into your list. It’s a big boy, with 15% alcohol and layers of plush, voluptuous fruit. Add a classy, heavy bottle and very funky label and the price doesn’t look at all right!"
"The wines have been impressive over the years!". "Dalwhinnie is one of Victoria's greatest wine estates, making wines that are regional highpoints!" -Ralph Kyte-Powell. "Sit back and watch as Dalwhinnie etches a name for itself among the great wines of the world!" -Huon Hooke

Just The Penfolds Grange 2001 at an astonishingly $499.99!» "They knew what I was up to and they clearly didn't want to sell it to me and kept making excuses 'Oh .. it's just for display' and 'Oh..I think someone has asked us to put it away for them' and my favourite 'umm Grange? What Grange? Do we stock Grange?' Well nice try fellows, but all rather futile. So now that I have all of them you can understand why I'm so excited about this vintage being touted as 'Immaculate!, almost certainly a great Grange and banged up with flavour as a Grange should be!'
