Kalari Wines is a boutique vineyard located along the scenic Lachlan River in Cowra, New South Wales. Established in 1998 by Valto and Pamela Heikkinen, the vineyard has retained its focus on producing high-quality wines under new ownership. Known for its aged vines, Kalari specializes in Verdelho and Shiraz, with its wines crafted by winemaker Chris Derrez at Madrez Winery. These reserve-grade wines reflect both tradition and the unique terroir of the Cowra region.
The vineyard's innovative styles include three distinctive takes on Verdelho, alongside Shiraz, Chardonnay, and fortified wines. Each bottle offers a unique perspective on the region’s winemaking traditions, highlighting the commitment to quality that has defined Kalari Wines.
Kalari Wines’ portfolio showcases a range of wines that emphasize both variety and craftsmanship. Standouts include the Reserve Dry Verdelho, a soft and aromatic dry wine, and the Shiraz, known for its smooth texture and subtle pepper notes. The vineyard also offers the unique Fortified Wine in the Kalari Konyak style, as well as the Bulls Blood Shiraz, a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of blackberry and spice. These wines reflect Kalari’s innovative approach to winemaking while staying rooted in Cowra’s viticultural identity.
