Atze's Corner Wines produces a truly exceptional Old Vine, along with an exclusive collection of premium, limited edition wines. Founded in 2005 by Andrew Kalleske, a sixth generation Barossa Valley vigneron, the Atze's Corner Estate has a long, rich history in winemaking. Andrew's ancestor, Karl Heinrich Eduard Kalleske, first settled in the region in 1847 after immigrating from Eastern Prussia, looking for a brighter future in the far away land of Australia.

The vivid crimson colour that welcomes you to this The Bachelor Wine betrays its concentration and ripeness. Elegant and extremely classy French oak aromas greet your nose, along with sweet spices, cinnamon and cedar.
Flowing through to the palate, your taste buds are met by a mellow, rich wine with ripe blueberries and damson plum flavours. Currently The Bachelor Wine is youthful and explosively rich with primary brightness melded with subtle oak toastiness.
As it evolves in the cellar I see layers of complexity revealing themselves and the opulence maturing into more subtle flavours. It’s a show-stopper right now though!
Altogether, The Bachelor Wine is extremely harmonious with a succulence, making it the perfect accompaniment for high-grade Wagyu steak or slow roast lamb.

When you’re looking for the archetypal Barossa Valley Shiraz, look no further than this broodingly intense red. The core of this magnificent wine comes from three Old Vine vineyards planted by the Eddies family in 1912, 1951 and 1975.
Pristine and youthfully deep, it’s virtually impenetrable, with the ruby red colour showing the power and concentration that low yielding, seriously old vines provide. A gloriously aromatic bouquet led by sweet spices and backed up by damson plum, dark chocolate and the most subtle of toasty oak.
The rich, enveloping palate is lush and smooth with bright fruit; dark cherries and Christmas cake made all the more complex by the layers of spices: cloves, cinnamon and anise. As anticipated, the finish is uber-long with a savoury, umami note that leaves you wanting another sip.

Background/Story: |
When you’re looking for archetypal Barossa Valley Shiraz look no further than this magnificent wine. The core of the wine is a century-and-a-bit old vineyard planted by the Eddies who give their name to the wine. Their plantings, together with two other old vine vineyards owned by the Kalleske family make up this broodingly intense red. |
| Fermentation/Maturation |
14 days extended maceration time on skins. Secondary 21 Months in 25% New French, 25% New American, 50% 2nd fill French and American Oak Hogshead (300 litres) barrels. |
|
Vineyard: |
Named in honour of the two Barossans who planted a vineyard in 1912, The Eddies Old Vine Shiraz celebrates the Barossa’s irreplaceable treasure-trove of old vineyards. Combining the fruit from a rare ancient vineyard, planted in 1912, with fruit from a 59 year old vineyard and a 1975 block, Andy Kalleske has captured the essence of these ancient vines which his parents, Barb and John have been nurturing for forty years. |
|
Vintage: |
2015 was an exceptionally early vintage due to a warmer than average ripening period, giving the wines their full bodied and intense concentrated black fruit characters. |

Why just settle for one of these classic wines when you can have a mix of all 3!?
Discover a unique story with each one of these carefully handcrafted wines. A collection that pays homage to the land and people that have made Atze’s Corner Wines the legendary place it is today.
Each story mirrors the trials and tribulations of the Barossa Valley people. These powerful and concentrated red wines are the reserve selection of Atze’s Corner; fruits from the best patches of ancient vineyards, the best small ferments, and broken down to only the best individual barrels of matured wine.
These limited production vintages are highly sought after and sell out quickly. We recommend reserving yours as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
The Mob Montepulciano x 2 Bottles
The Bachelor Shiraz x 2 Bottles
The Giant Durif x 2 Bottles
With this exclusive single vineyard you are getting a rare limited edition wine (only 200 dozen bottles made).
This extravagant wine comes with a dramatic story... In its first year, a group of sheep, affectionately named “The Mob”, squeezed through a hole in the vineyard fence. It was a tragedy for the vines, and almost proved to be fatal for this tiny patch of the estate. They ravished the whole plot! But all was not lost. Three years later and the first crop of grapes to be delivered from these tough young vines are second to none. That’s the beauty of growing on ironstone and red clay.
Deeply coloured, as we all love our Barossa reds to be, the Atze’s take on this style is full of dark cherries and blackberries supported by a spine of fine, savoury tannins. Its richness and juicy-fruit is clearly Barossa but there’s more than a nod, in the savoury, food-friendly style to Italy.
It's a real crowd pleaser and it has a history of numerous awards to back up its world class pedigree.

The Durif red wine grape is one of Australia’s undiscovered gems. We suspect that people in the know keep quiet about it so as not to arouse too much competition for what is, after all, a scarce bottle of wine. Atze’s Corner is one of the only wineries in the Barossa Valley to have planted Durif, and based on the outstanding results, there is a plan to plant more in the future.
Named 'The Giant' in tribute to an overly tall Barossa settler, the wine fully lives up to that description in all respects. You just have to witness the colour, which is a luminous purple black!
It’s dark and deliciously deep. The bouquet is brooding, dark and moody with black fruits and sweet spices, maybe a hint of liquorice too. A full-bodied wine with crafted, harmonious tannins backed up with a fresh line of acidity the fruit shines vividly.
For a variety noted for its robust tannins, this wine has got them fully corralled and under control. Tannins are there, but the fruit is so rich that they meld seamlessly, giving the wine some backbone and future, but not, by any means, preventing you enjoying it straight away.

Background/Story: |
Andy has adopted Montepulciano along with a swathe of other Italian varieties, introduced them to his family’s Barossa vineyards and is making the wine with his usual flair. But it was a close run thing with the Montepulciano; a mob of excited sheep nearly grazed the young vines to death. Resurrected, and I suppose, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, the 2016 vintage has produced a cracking wine. |
