Description

2021 Kalleske Merchant Organic Cabernet SauvignonDer "Merchant" ist benannt nach der Tradition der Familie als Mller und Hndler von Lamm, Hckselgut und Trauben zu arbeiten. Kym John Kalleske, der alles in seinem Weinberg noch von Hand tut, fhrt diese Tradition fort. Er ernetet die Trauben aus einer Einzellage, die Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts angelegt wurde. In der Nase ein klassischer fruchtbetonter Cabernet, zeigt er Cassis ohne Ende, Blaubeeren, Schokolade, etwas Veilchen und minzigen Tabak.

Der "Merchant" ist benannt nach der Tradition der Familie als Müller und Händler von Lamm, Häckselgut und Trauben zu arbeiten. Kym John Kalleske, der alles in seinem Weinberg noch von Hand tut, führt diese Tradition fort. Er ernetet die Trauben aus einer Einzellage, die Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts angelegt wurde.

In der Nase ein klassischer fruchtbetonter Cabernet, zeigt er Cassis ohne Ende, Blaubeeren, Schokolade, etwas Veilchen und minzigen Tabak. Diese Aromen finden sich auch am Gaumen wieder, zusammen mit den kraftvollen, reifen Tanninen, die dem Wein ein exzellentes Rückgrat geben. Intensive reintönige Frucht vor französischen Barriquehintergrund ist das Hauptcharakteristikum dieses betörenden und schon jetzt harmonischen Traumweins.


Zum 2021er Jahrgang:

2021 war vorbildlich, sozusagen ein richtig "streberhaftes" Jahr mit wenig Niederschlag, relativ milden Temperaturen und kühlen Nächten. Insgesamt konnten die Trauben schön gleichmäßig ausreifen. Ein klassischer "Merchant" - ein echter Cabernet, der nicht versucht, ein Shiraz zu sein. Der Wein ist eine Wucht. Dunkel, dicht, präzise und dennoch fokussiert.

TASTING NOTES
2021 Merchant Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple in colour. Classic varietal aromatics lift from the glass. Fragrances include violet perfume and blackcurrant along with a hint of nutty oak. It is super lifted and very engaging. This is a medium-full bodied Cabernet with utmost finesse and poise. It is richly flavoured with a balanced elegance ensuring the pristine fruits shine through. Natural tannins give structure and backbone leading to a pleasant and lengthy dry finish. Classy cedary oak adds supporting complexity to this true-to-type Cabernet with superb poise. Merchant is a classic Barossa Cabernet that can be equally enjoyed now or in a decade.
WINEMAKING
After pressing off skins the Cabernet was filled to a mix of one third new and the balance used French oak hogsheads, where the wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation. The Cabernet was matured in barrel for a year prior to bottling.
GROWING SEASON
Vintage 2021 was an exemplary year with fine wines and good yields. Growing season rainfall was marginally below average and temperatures were mild ensuring vine canopies remained healthy. Vintage weather was absolutely perfect throughout, with dry mild-warm days and cool nights ensuring even and steady ripening across all varieties. There is strong colour and flavour across all the reds along with excellent structure and balance whilst the whites are bright, fresh and elegant.
VINEYARD
Merchant Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a single vineyard that was planted on the Kalleske property at the end of last century. The hand-pruned vines are low-yielding and are grown in shallow, sandy loam soil over superb deep red clay, providing ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dan Traucki, Wine Assist, May 2 2022:
“Bright purple colour, vibrant bouquet of plums & mulberries with a smidge of vanillin oak. Rich, round very tasty palate with a tight slightly grippy, lingering finish. A GREAT FOOD WINE!!”

Don't hesitate - Great product!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
Superior quality at an unbelievable savings over local retailers. Hardware for hanging included the cheaper plastic lags yet they also included the heavy duty lags, so no tapping in to our supply. Thank you for a great product

Very nice nightstand organizer
Color: Bootlegger Brown, Size: 10.5" x 7" x 1.5"
I was looking for a way to keep all my essentials together at the end of every day, so I had started looking at valet trays. These caught my eye as they're rawhide that are offered in a few different tones. I chose the Large in the Bootlegger Brown tone as it goes with pretty much every decor and suits my style. It's a great shade, and the color is rich. The size is perfect for my needs. Watch and ring at one end, phone on top of slim wallet on the other, and two small sets of keys in the middle. Not crowded, but also no wasted space. The leather is very thick, and the tray keeps quite rigid, despite its size. The edges are turned up just enough to contain your items, but not so much that you feel like you're digging down into something. One minor gripe: I wish the bottom were somehow weighted to keep the tray from "wiggling" when grabbing items out of it. It would make for the perfect tray. I may try to affix something under it that's flat and heavy (but thin), so I'm not too worried about it. Overall I believe this is a fantastic product. I would recommend this for anyone who carries at least a half dozen EDC items as you're sure not to forget anything when preparing to head out for the day.
