92 Points - Ray Jordan
90 Points - Halliday Wine Companion
Indulge in the richness and warmth of Barossa Valley with our exquisite Opulent 2020 Shiraz. This fruit-driven masterpiece boasts all the ripe black fruit flavors you love, a true reflection of the renowned Barossa style. Sourced from the esteemed Kalleske's Estate in the Northern region of the Barossa Valley, this wine is a testament to our traditional handcrafted approach, ensuring every sip is a pure and expressive delight.
Tasting Note: Opulent 2020 exudes the essence of Barossa Valley's opulence. Plush, full-bodied, and luscious, its deeply colored and equally flavored profile entices the senses. Embrace the inviting warmth of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and coffee on the bouquet and palate. Bursting with black cherries and sweet, spicy damson plums, this wine truly captivates.
Pairing: Embrace the culinary delights of grilled red meat or savor the harmony with creamy and cheesy tomato-based dishes for an unforgettable pairing.
Alcohol: 14.5%
Vinification: Our meticulous vinification process includes cold soaking on skins to extract color, followed by extended skin contact for 16 days to impart structure and weight to the palate. The gentle press and secondary fermentation in oak barrels add finesse and character.
Maturation: Aged for 12 months in 2nd-4th fill American and French oak barrels, this wine attains its distinct personality and complexity.
Vineyards: The grapes for Opulent 2020 come from vines planted between 1990 and 2005 in the iconic subregions of Koonunga and Ebenezer, both prized grape-growing areas within the Barossa Valley. The ancient soils in this region restrict vine growth, yielding a wine of unparalleled intensity and concentration.
Cellaring: Allow this wine to evolve gracefully in the cellar for up to 10 years, witnessing its transformation from dark fruit-packed youth to a softer, more complex and nuanced maturity.
Experience the allure of Opulent 2020, a true expression of Barossa Valley's finesse and flavor. Unlock the potential of this remarkable Shiraz and embark on a journey of taste and elegance.

This is a fruit-driven Shiraz with all the ripe black fruit flavours we’ve come to expect from the Barossa Valley favourite.

93 Points - Ray Jordan
We are delighted to present Bert's Legacy Shiraz, a wine that pays homage to the rich history of the Barossa Valley and the enduring spirit of the man who once worked the very land from which this exceptional fruit is sourced. Named after Bert Kleining, a beloved bachelor who toiled on the land, this wine is a true testament to the legacy of passion and dedication.
Tasting Note: Bert's Legacy Shiraz showcases a deep ruby red hue, hinting at the depth within. On the nose, enchanting notes of raspberry and red plum lead the way. The palate is a symphony of complexity, unveiling ripe tannins, tantalizing toasted bread, and vanilla aromas, intertwined with a delightful spicy character of cloves and white pepper.
Pairing: Embrace the splendor of Bert's Legacy Shiraz with high-grade Wagyu steak or indulge in the tender succulence of slow-roast lamb. Its versatility allows for an array of delectable pairings to elevate your dining experience.
Alcohol: 14.5%
Maturation: Aged for 20 months in a mix of 20% New French oak and 3rd and 4th fill French and American Oak Hogsheads, this wine boasts stunning oak smoothness and a rich mouthfeel, adding depth to its remarkable character.
Vineyard: Bert's Legacy Shiraz hails from vines planted between 1951 and 2000. The single cordon spur (hand) pruned vines ensure low yield and high-grade fruit production, with each vine tended to with utmost care.
Sub Regions: Sourced from the iconic subregion of Koonunga, located at the Northern tip of the Barossa Valley, the vines thrive in ancient Red/Brown Clay loam over deep red clay, revealing the secret to the wine's concentration and structure.
Elevation: 270-290 Metres

NEW RELEASE VINTAGE
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.

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: |
2018 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. |

AustraliaI keep falling for gimmicks at the local bottle shop, paying up to $80 looking for that special something and I keep being disappointed. Not anymore, Atzes A label will knock off just about anything under $50 from your local. I won't waste my time and money looking anymore, when you are on a good thing, stick to it! The A label is a thoroughly enjoyable wine, soft on the mouth, good fruit, good tannin and smooth on the finish. Of course you can buy better, but you don't have to go far, just have to look at A labels big brothers! :) Darren
AustraliaEvery time I compare this wine with something in a similar price range, Atzes wins hands down. Great body, good fruit, soft and weighty in the mouth, good tannin, great finish. Punching well above its weight!
