About Laughing Jack Wines
Laughing Jack Wines is a true Barossa Valley story. While the Kalleske family has been growing premium grapes in the region since 1847, it wasn’t until 1999 when sixth-generation grower Shawn Kalleske crushed his first vintage that Laughing Jack wines was born. In 2005, Shawn purchased the Marananga property from his Aunty Jan and Uncle Keith. Today, this property is home to Laughing Jack Wines - a family-owned and operated winery. The business is a true family affair, with Shawn and wife Briony working alongside Shawn’s parents, Ian and Carol, as well as his brothers, Damon and Nathan. Specialising in small-batch, estate-grown Shiraz, Semillon, and Grenache, Laughing Jack blends traditional methods with a dedication to quality. Every bottle reflects the character of the land and the passion of the people behind it.
