2020 Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz

Kaesler's vineyards are located around the village of Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley and have been planted since 1893. After working in France and South Africa for a long time, successful winemaker Reid Bosward returned to the Barossa in 1999 to take over Kaesler with a number of partners. The greatest temptation for this takeover 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 with age. This balance between power, concentration, freshness and elegance is perfectly expressed, for example, in 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 fruit (blackberries) and dried herbs (laurel, sage). In the background, the aromas of the use of old oak play a slight role. The wine has a friendly and juicy structure with ripe round tannins.
