Wines By Kellermeister

A big Shiraz wine from from fruit grown to some of the oldest Barossa vineyards, tended by a number of dedicated growers. Contributing sites in the Hoffnungsthal Valley at the Barossa's south are characterized by low fertility, grey brown loam soils over clay. Ebenezer is blessed by richer, ferrous, red sandy loam over clay soils. The final wine displays spicy peppery aromas and luscious berry flavours balanced by toasty new oak aromatics. Velvety and voluptuous with rich tannin, it complements the finest faire. Classic Barossa Shiraz the Kellermeister way.

Contributing sites in the Eden Valley are marked by grey to brown loamy sands and subsoils derived from weathered schist rock. Fruit is hand picked, destemmed and crushed, inoculated with Prisse de Mousse yeast, chilled and held cold for two or three days in headed down 4.5t fermenters. Vinification begins and is maintained below 25°C rising to 30°C towards the end, during which aerobic pumpovers occur thrice daily for several days before the fermented must is pressed off at 0%5° to 1° Beaume. The wine is racked to hogsheads for completion of malolactic, racked again and matured for thirty months in Troncais, Troncais/ Jupilles and Nevers French oak hogsheads. Alcohol 14.9%


Dark crimson red hue. Black fruit aromas of dark cherry, black diamond plum, mulberry, dark bitter chocolate, aniseed and briar, complex savoury characters and lifted smoky cedar oak. A full bodied wine with an even weighted palate. Very fine and firm chewy tannins, the integrated acid provides structure, length and persistence.

Deep colour. Bouquets of rancio and ribena, rich dark chocolate and plum, figures of cherry and leafy mint. Gorgeous texture, it slides round the tongue and slips through the teeth, complexities of nutella and hazelnut, confection like violet crumble and nutella, seamless expressions of cookies and fruit, it's all raisin and gateaux. Sip Sable through a topping of cream, it's divine in warmer weather when served chilled or on the rocks.

For forty years, Kellermeister have been selecting grapes from a rich tapestry of vineyards throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys.

Kellermeister excel at all things in dessert wine. It is a challenge for winemakers to capture the ambrosia of botrytised fruit, an event that is almost exclusively controlled by the vagaries at vintage. But Ralph and Val Jones are at an advantage, handcrafting wines in their boutique winery nestled in the hills of the beautiful Barossa Valley for a very long time now. It all began in the late 1970s as Ralph and Val sat with gum boots on, ankle deep in water, labouring tirelessly into the late evenings 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. Approx 11.5%

Colour is a light amber, straw gold. A fresh, clean nose with expressions of dried fruits, especially apricot and pawpaw, candied elements of marmalade, lime and lemon citrus rinds, toasty vanilla and cashew, rancio and white chocolates. The palate is crisp and flavoursome with rich concentrated fruit and honeyed characters, roman nougat and dried fruit, walnuts and slightly drier characters of parched raisin, leather and gumleaf. Botrytised characters yes, but not an overly sweet or cloying wine, it's more reminiscent of a dried apricot, peach and pear ice cream. The palate may be rich, but it's well with a perfect tang of juicy acidity, everything in balance. A good drying citrus finish, a sound and satisfying dessert wine.

Inherent to the inclusion of grapes are considerations of clonal selection, soil type and climate. Each parcel is treated individually based on past experience with the vineyard or with a view to gain maximum complexity in the finished wine. The base is crushed and chilled, then held on skins for up to twenty four hours prior to gentle pressing using a Willmes membrane on low solids extraction cycle. Other parcels are hand harvested a little earlier, gently loaded into the presses and treated to battonage or malolactic. Parcels are inoculated with different yeasts, fermentation is carried out at lower temperatures for an extended period with regular tank rummage to enhance yeast autolysis until the final assembly.

Light straw gold in colour. A complex style displaying rich, ripe Chardonnay and stone fruit characters reminiscent of lychee and peach. The delicacy of hazelnuts, kiwi and tangerine, combined with subtle complexity brings to this wine it's renown and pedigree. There is an underlying richness from the time spent on lees and a subtle complexity of the malolactic ferment component. The finish is soft with a hint of fruit sweetness balanced by judicious acidity to leave a long, flavoursome finish. With its good structure and engaging comlexity, Virgin is an excellent match to white meats and fresh seafood.

Grapes are harvested fully ripe, at healthy levels of Baume, temperatures are adjusted at the crusher and yeasts are immediately added. Treated to a week or two on skins, the must is passed through a Willmes air bag press, the results are then added straight back into the free run juice. The wine is then transferred, while still fermenting, to a selection of mostly new oak barrels, drawing away the clear juice from the dead yeast lees, over a period of twenty four to thirty six months, during which the wine is racked several times. The distinctive peppery aromas of dry grown Shiraz, tamed after two and a half years in a combination of fine oak barrels remain opulent, complex and intense.

Dark red. Voluptuous spiced, licorice, plum aromas, generous yet refined bouquet. An elegant Shiraz of great finesse, expressing notes of cedar and red currant, pepper and blackberries. Flavours of earthy, spicy pepper, blackcurrant, mulberry, the wine has a rich tannin lift, extracted from the natural grape skins and new French oak treatment. When it is very young, there are spikes of flavour coming from the glass in all directions. You have a spike of wood in one direction and a spike of fruit in another, all characters arriving together to make the wine basically at it's best, somewhere in the vicinity of three to seven years of age. Wild Witch is an intense experience of Shiraz, memorable for it's individuality and grace.

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.

For many years Kellermeister has been selecting grapes from a rich tapestry of vineyards throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys. From the old shiraz vines that line the road winding up to the cellar door, to the rugged Wild Witch block nestled in the Lyndoch hills, to the riesling rows that follow the contours of the Eden Valley hillside - each vineyard has it's own unique characteristics, which they bottle into their wines. Adding to the charm of each vineyard are the personalities behind the vineyard - a team of dedicated and passionate local growers, who work tirelessly throughout the year to produce the exceptional fruit that is the life blood of Kellermeister wines.

These awards were recently followed by Best Boutique Riesling for the 1998 Eden Valley Riesling, awarded by Boutique Wines of Australia 2000. Well done Trevor! In true Aussie fashion, Kellermeister have managed to keep just how exceptional the wines are pretty quiet. Well, until recently that is, when Australia's leading authority on all things wine, James Halliday, spilled the beans in his definitive Australian Wine Companion.	James classified Kellermeister with the highest possible winery rating - five bright red stars. This prestigious designation is only bestowed upon a handful of wineries across Australia in recognition of the consistent production of wines of exemplary quality and typicity - just the sort of wines that Kellermeister have been making for over 30 years. The only problem Kellermeister have, is that they're not sure how long they can keep their handiwork a secret.
