A lovely little botryris affected expression of Barossa Valley, delicate and delicious, with a fine assortment of fruit tray flavours and alluring aromatics. A wonderful dessert wine that's perfect with Panna Cotta and a delight with your favourite cheese. 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. 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.
TASTING NOTESLight amber, straw gold. A fresh, clean nose with expressions of dried fruits, marmalade, lime and lemon citrus rinds, toasty vanilla and cashew, rancio and white chocolate. The palate is crisp and flavoursome with rich concentrated fruit and honeyed characters, roman nougat and dried fruit, Botrytised characters yes, but not an overly sweet or cloying wine, it's more reminiscent of a dried apricot, peach and pear ice cream. |

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»
