LAUGHING JACK WINES... is family owned and operated by winemaker Shawn Kalleske alongside parents Ian and Carol and brothers Nathan and Damon. The Kalleske family have been working the property since 1855, situated near the hamlet of Greenock, a small town in the famous Barossa Valley and home to some of Australia's greatest shiraz wines. Laughing Jack represents the resident kookaburras found in the majestic Blue and Red Gum trees, that stand tall surrounding the family vineyards!

Winemaker's Note

"The 2022 Limited Two Shiraz is a statement of place and vintage—an uncompromising expression of our Greenock estate and our commitment to producing wines of exceptional character only when the season permits. The result is a Shiraz of power, elegance and longevity, worthy of its place among the finest wines of the Barossa Valley." - Shawn Kalleske

There are a few core touchpoints that sit at the heart of the Laughing Jack Wines story.

The most central is the vineyard itself. As an estate-grown winery, everything begins there. The vines, the soil, and the seasons are not just inputs but the foundation of identity. This is where the work starts and where the character of the wine is formed—slowly, patiently, and with close attention to detail.

Equally important is the winemaking space—the place where craft is most visible. It represents Shawn's hands-on, considered approach behind every wine: small-scale, detail-driven, and shaped by a family who are deeply connected to what they are making. It’s not about machinery or scale, but about care and intention.

Then there is the Cellar Door, which acts as the emotional centre of the brand experience. It’s where the wines are shared and where people directly feel the atmosphere of Laughing Jack—warm, intimate, and grounded in place. The dark, timbered, softly lit space becomes a physical expression of the brand’s personality.

Finally, the wine itself is the most meaningful product touchpoint. Each bottle carries the story forward—estate-grown fruit, careful winemaking, and a balance of refinement and ease. It’s the most direct expression of everything the brand stands for: craft without pretence, elegance without distance, and warmth in every detail.

From vineyard to bottle with nothing to hide, this is where the detail lives.

Our single vineyard range captures the individuality of each site, delivering pure expression in every glass. Each wine is a true reflection of its vineyard—distinct soils, distinct stories, all united by an unwavering focus on quality, balance, and character.

Briony’s off trekking the Mornington Peninsula, which means Kirsten is in charge at Cellar Door this weekend…

We’re not saying there’ll be mischief, but we are saying the wine cellar is within reach. 😜

While the boss is away, the staff will play.
What should Kirsten be opening?
