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!!”

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.

Soft as real rabbit fur
Color: Solid Cream, Size: 50"x60"
This throw blanket is absolutely gorgeous! It’s as soft as real rabbit fur and looks far more expensive than it is. PB has this blanket at a much higher price point but this looks and feel exactly the same for so much less money. It’s pricier than some of the others on Amazon but this one is worth every penny! I ordered the solid cream color in the 50x69 size and it’s plenty big enough to cover me completely with extra blanket to spare! It’s warm but not overly heavy. You can sleep with it or use it to snuggle up on the couch with on those cold winter nights! If you are looking at cheaper ones, don’t bother. This throw is worth the money and much better quality. The edges are trimmed so the lining doesn’t slide . This purchase is a win win!

Beautiful, Warm Faux Fur Blanket
Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80", Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80"
This faux rabbit fur blanket is beautiful, and it goes with everything. It's very soft and just heavy enough to be warm and comfortable, without being heavy. It appears to be durable and colorfast after the first wash, without any noticeable shedding. I bought the "Marble Beige and Grey Chocolate" one, and I'm very happy with it. The marble swirl of natural-looking brown colors reminds me of Swensen's chocolate eclair ice cream!
