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!!”

My dog’s all-time favorite toy!!
My boxer mix LOVES LOVES LOVES the Chuck it ball! It is seriously his favorite toy. I think he likes how much give it has when he chomps on it, kind of like a dog stress ball. It does squeak when chewed but the squeak typically goes away in about a week likely due to saliva getting inside the ball. It bounces really well, my dog loves to catch it mid-bounce. Nice smooth rubber, easy to clean. It is very durable, we’ve never had one that broke. We usually only have to buy more when they go missing. The size is similar to a tennis ball. I’ve also noticed there is a difference between the mostly blue chuck it ball and the mostly orange one. The orange one is harder than the blue. My dog can tell the difference and only likes these blue ones.

Long lasting squeaker for heavy chewing
The first squeaky toy to ever last more than a day for my heavy chewing dog. Got a 2pk 4 months ago. They squeezed for about 3 months, absolutely amazing. Got 6 more for Christmas and my pup is so happy.
