The Kaesler vineyards are located around the village of Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley and have been planted since 1893. After a long period working in France and South Africa, the successful winemaker Reid Bosward returned to Barossa in 1999 to work with a number of partners. to take over Kaesler. The biggest temptation for this acquisition was the opportunity to work with an unprecedented amount of very old vineyards. All vineyards are cultivated according to a 'sustainable viticulture' program. The old vines produce extremely powerful and concentrated wines that are characteristic of the region. It is striking that the style of the wines becomes more refined over the years. This balance between power, concentration, freshness and elegance is perfectly reflected in, for example, the beautiful Shiraz called 'The Bogan'.
The Kaesler The Bogan Shiraz has an expressive nose with aromas of ripe plum, laurel (licorice), cinnamon and modest use of wood (vanilla, cloves). Characteristic is the silky structure (despite very firm but supple tannins), very full body, supported by a fresh acidity. This Bogan has an endless aftertaste in which all the above qualities live on.
