Description

Kalleske is one of the premier organic and biodynamic producers in the Barossa Valley, and they also make some tremendous no added preservative wines.

This, their Zeitgeist, is a fresh, modern take on Barossa Shiraz, released while it's young, energetic and exuberant.

The colour here is shocking - a deep electric blue/black with iridescent purple rimes, this wine seems to almost glow in the glass.

The flavours are bold but bright, there's plenty of tannin here too but in general, it's designed as a modern take on the regional staple intended for a younger audience.

90 Points - "The Kalleske family farm well and have been flying the biodynamic flag off the western ridge of the Barossa for many years. Their Zeitgeist comes from a multitude of blocks west of the Para River planted 1905-1998. Wild fermented, aged in stainless steel and bottled without sulphur dioxide, it's a wild-eyed, pure and raw rendering of a much-loved grape variety. Primal, dense, sapid and vivid. Wild stuff." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
