Sensationally oaked, crafted from exclusive parcels of Wild Witch Vineyard fruit, this redolent sparkler displays virile spice and cherry aromas with developed fruit characters of chocolate and earth. A richly flavoured and complex wine with soft tannins and a length of sweet berry fruit, warm rounded mouthfeel and lingering finish. Serve with crisp duck on caramelized root vegetables.
For forty years, Kellermeister have been selecting grapes from a rich tapestry of vineyards throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys. From old shiraz vines that line the winding road, to the rugged Wild Witch block nestled in the Lyndoch hills, each vineyard offers it's own unique characteristics. Kellermeister make a limited production, small batch effervescent red wine, fashioned from fruit grown to fifty year old vines on the superlative Wild Witch site, planted to sandy loam soils over ironstone rock, trained to single cordon and catch wire, closely cropped to a mere 1½ tons per acre. Some of the components to this enticing cuvee have spent up to fifteen years maturing in seasoned oak hogsheads. Approx 14.8%
TASTING NOTES
Opaque black crimson purple colour, a fine bead with ravishing purple mousse. Ripe dark cherry and mulberry, ripe plum and whole black pepper, mocha, aniseed and seasoned oak aromas. Flavours of ripe plum and raspberry, cherry jam and spice persist. An elegant even fine grain tannin structure is superbly balanced by a tirage of barrel aged vintage Shiraz. The palate leads to a long and persistent finish.

More About Kellermeister Wines
Kellermeister is a small family owned winery situated on the Barossa Valley Highway at Lyndoch, established in 1979 by Ralph and Val Jones
Ralph was National Marketing manager at Orlando wines for fifteen years prior to founding his own estate. Kellermeister have been handcrafting wines at their boutique winery for a long time now. It all began in the late 1970s as Ralph and Val Jones sat with gum boots on, ankle deep in water, labouring tirelessly into the night together. Over many cold winter’s nights, in a small tin shed perched above the valley floor, they laboured - kept warm only by the glow of the love they shared and the fire that was their dream for Kellermeister. Their aim was to produce wines of unique character - wines true to the German traditions of the Barossa Valley which was so richly influenced by the Silesian settlements of the 1840s. And so it was, through much love, sacrifice and hard work that Ralph and Val Jones brought their dream to life. Kellermeister»
