Unveiling The Mob Montepulciano: A Rare Limited Edition Wine
Welcome to the exclusive world of The Mob Montepulciano – a wine like no other, where rarity meets drama and a tale of triumph unfolds. With only 150 dozen bottles crafted, this extravagant wine is a true gem waiting to be savored by a fortunate few.
The Dramatic Story: In its inaugural year, a mischievous group of sheep, affectionately named "The Mob," managed to infiltrate our vineyard through a tiny gap in the fence. A tragedy befell the vines, leaving the tiny patch of estate devastated. However, these tough vines proved their resilience. Three years later, they delivered a crop of grapes second to none, a testament to the beauty of growing on ironstone and red clay. From central Italy, Montepulciano is celebrated for its savory tannins and juicy fruit.
Tasting Note: A deep, dark purple hue foretells the great potential of The Mob Montepulciano. Its intense aroma captivates with candied, dark fruits, cracked pepper, and mocha. Upon sipping, the wine seamlessly comes together. Medium-bodied with silky, savory tannins gracefully framing the fruit – blackberries, zippy raspberries, and succulent blueberries create an irresistible symphony.
Pairing: This red wine is tailor-made for umami-rich foods. Pair it with a succulent rack of lamb or indulge in the earthy goodness of a mushroom risotto for a culinary experience to remember.
Production: Limited to a mere 150 dozen bottles, each sip of The Mob Montepulciano is a true privilege.
Alcohol: 14%
Maturation: Aged for 18 months in a mix of 3rd and 4th fill French Oak Hogsheads, this wine bears subtle hints of oak, allowing the chewy raw tannins to soften out gracefully.
Viticulture: Our single cordon spur (hand) pruned vines ensure low yield and exceptional fruit quality, producing a mere 2 tonnes per acre.
Single Vineyard: Planted in 2009 on 1 hectare of land with scattered ironstone and shallow clay loam over white sandstone. Nestled on an east-facing slope in the Koonunga subregion, The Mob Montepulciano enjoys an elevation of 300 meters.
Cellaring: This wine is ready to be enjoyed now, yet its aging potential promises delightful evolution until 2030.
Embrace the rarity and splendor of The Mob Montepulciano, where every sip tells a tale of resilience and triumph. Secure your place in history with this limited edition masterpiece and savor the enchanting flavors of this extraordinary wine.

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. |

2021 VINTAGE - NEW RELEASE VINTAGE
Grenache is a stalwart of the Barossa Valley’s treasure trove of red varieties. A noble and respected variety from the Mediterranean, Grenache thrives in the Barossa’s warm, dry climate. These Old vines are lovingly tended by Andy’s parents John and Barb. Old vines such as these produce few grapes but those they do offer make fabulously concentrated wines. This 2021 vintage is a few years away from its peak, but it already revels in its silky body, fleshy strawberry and cream fruit with generous bouquet of roses and apricots. Drink with hearty winter foods; lambs shanks and mash would be perfect. Don’t forget to cellar some.
Holding off until the right calibre of fruit was ready means Atze’s have only released a Grenache since the sell-out 2012 four times.
Hotly anticipated, the 2021 is worth the wait.
One precious acre of Grenache, planted in 1975 near Atze’s Corner, is low yielding and difficult to prune – making the fruits of their labour all the more sweet.
Andy says:
I loved the riper take on the variety and quality of the 2012 vintage, and always wait to have another one good enough to put into bottle again.
At the time, John & Barb were considering pulling the vineyard out as the vines were low yielding and a pain in the butt to prune, so I thought if I put their name on the bottle as a single vineyard wine the vines would be safe!
After 14 Months in an 8 year old French oak puncheon, only one barrel was chosen out of 6 to be bottled for this limited release wine.
Bottled on the 8th October 2023, and a decade away from its peak, this wine in its youth revels in its silky body, fleshy strawberry and cream fruit with generous bouquet of roses and apricots.
Drink now to 2032. Be sure to decant it to open it up and let its quality shine.

NEW RELEASE VINTAGE 2021
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 Atze family in 1912, 1951 and 1975. There two workers Eddies Staehr (Andy Kalleske's great uncle) and Eddies Liebig planted the oldest of these three vineyards in 1912.
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.
Pairing: Grilled or roast beef with a pepper sauce, slow roast lamb
shank, barbequed or flame grilled red meats.
Alcohol: 15 %
Fermentation: 21 Day extended maceration time on skins, hand
plunged, secondary ferment in barrel.
Maturation: 30 Months in 50% new French Oak, 50% second fill

don’t be fooled; this wine will last and last for 25 years with a good
cellar and self-control!.
