Wine Code Breaker #439

2023 Kalleske Zeitgeist Shiraz, Barossa Valley, South Australia

Perhaps the least memorable member of the X-Force was Zeitgeist. His mutant power was spewing acidic vomit with deadly accuracy. This was reportedly discovered during a drunken night out with a girl on a beach. His uniform was a pale blue tunic with yellow highlights. A more memorable Zeitgeist clocked in purple hales from a vineyard and has a superpower that is infinitely more appealing. 

The 2023 Kalleske Zeitgeist Shiraz is from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. It is a freakishly purple and seriously bright in colour. The nose has a laser focus on fruits; plums, blueberries and fresh figs combine neatly with aromatic spices and liquorice. On the palate, the spices roar along with the plums, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, olives and liquorice. With lightly gripping tannins as a backdrop, this wine cannot fail to put a smile on your face and this is its superpower. 

Enjoy!
