2023 Kalleske Moppa Shiraz, Barossa Valley

In Appearance: Deep purple black in colour
On the Nose: Aromatically it is classic Moppa.  There are engaging notes of dark blue fruits, sweet spice, floral lift, and a hint of toasty oak, all in concert with each other
On the Palate: The prototypicality continues to the rich, full-bodied, and wholly balanced palate.  There is a beautiful mesh of blue and black fruits, with ripe generosity neatly proportional with fresh vinosity.  It is very richly flavoured, with integrated natural, yet notable, tannins giving a solid backbone and pleasant dryness.  The oak barrel maturation is classy and well-unified providing another band of flavour.  Completing this harmonic wine is a long, fruit-driven finish.

Moppa 2023 is an expressive Shiraz that can be enjoyed now or will cellar well in the medium to long term.
