2024 Klauber Block Shiraz

VINEYARD: The old Klauber Block vines are set on a variety of soils adding complexity. From Sandy loam to Biskay to Clay, the soil varies as the slope undulates.

The Klauber Block is Rod and Spur pruned and minimal intervention vineyard practises are used to allow the true varietal character to shine.

HARVEST: The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night when the Baume levels were around 14.5. Our winemaker Bronson Kies determined that the fruit was full of flavour but retained some great natural acidity.

VINTAGE & WINEMAKING: A much anticipated dry-grown vintage, with reduced yields and concentrated flavour, the 2024 Klauber Block Shiraz is finally here. 

The 2024 Klauber Block Shiraz was crafted with meticulous attention from vineyard to bottle. Harvested in the cool of night, the fruit was gently handled, slowly fermented, and then matured for 12 months in a mix of French and American oak. After careful blending and refinement, the result is a bold yet beautifully balanced Barossa Shiraz with vibrant fruit, layered complexity, and a long, lingering finish.

HISTORY: Made from the older more mature vines of the Kies Estate, the fruit has been specially selected to provide the complexity and excellence required to maintain its incomparable reputation. This sensational Shiraz produces good richBarossa lift, with an abundance of fruit mid palate, with quite a dry finish.

The Klauber Block Shiraz will grow with time in the cellar.
