2022 Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz

The Kaesler vineyards are situated 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, successful winemaker Reid Bosward returned to Barossa in 1999 to take over Kaesler with a number of partners. The greatest attraction for this acquisition was the opportunity to work with an unprecedented number 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 expressed, for example, in the beautiful Shiraz named 'The Bogan'.

The Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz is a typical Barossa Shiraz with a friendly character. The nose is dominated by ripe plums, black fruit (blackberries), and dried herbs (bay leaf, sage). In the background, the aromas of old oak play a subtle role. The wine has a friendly and juicy structure with ripe, round tannins.
