A field blend is where you pick a vineyard of different grape varieties at the same time, and here James has gone with a block in SA's Mount Benson planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot (but who knows how much of each!). It's a classy medium to full bodied red too, with cocoa and black fruit in just the right amounts.

The Kalleske name is Barossa royalty and for James Kalleske he could have stayed at home and had the comfort of family meals and plenty of good times to be had at the local pub. Instead, James moved to the great West, that is Western Australia, to work at some of the rockstar wineries of Margaret River like Cullen, Vasse Felix and Leeuwin Estate. From here, James moved to the Perth suburb that is Bali, where he worked at Hatten Wines, where he learned to appreciate the lighter styles of wine that suit the tropical climate of Bali. After working for other wineries, James decided to go out on his own and incorporate the love for his home in the Barossa as well as wine regions across Australia. Today, he sources classical Barossa grapes like Grenache, as well as SBS, from his second home in Margaret River, along with a selection of wines made in cool regions like Mount Benson.
