2020 Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz

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 there with a number of partners. Kaesler to take over. The biggest temptation for this acquisition was the opportunity to work with an unprecedented amount of very old vineyards. All vineyards are worked 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 Stonehorse Shiraz is a typical Barossa Shiraz with a friendly character. The nose is dominated by ripe plums, black fruits (blackberries) and dried herbs (laurel, sage). In the background, the aromas of the use of old oak play a light role. The wine has a friendly and juicy structure with ripe round tannins.
