Wine of the Week

26 April 2004

2001 Organic Shiraz, Kalleske Estate
Barossa Valley, £8.99, Marks & Spencer

We really should see more organic wine coming out of Australia, given that it's the driest continent on earth and most vine diseases are strongly influenced by wet weather. But we see disappointingly few examples. So I'm glad M&S have unearthed this rich, rather old-style red packed with rather stewy plum and blackberry fruit, splashed with spice and wrapped in tannin.
