2019 Kaesler Old Vine Shiraz, Barossa Valley

There's an impressive display of fruit density and concentration in the 2019 Old Vine Shiraz. Concentrated black plum, cherry and blackberry fruits pack considerable punch, layered as they are with deep dark spice notes, licorice, Old Jamaica chocolate and oak nuance. Toothsome, compact tannins plunge through the fruit and the finish echos with blackberry compote and earthy spices.

Kaesler Old Vine Shiraz has been consistently produced as an elegant wine, tight in its youth, a wine that is made to age. It represents a different style of Shiraz within the Kaesler portfolio, when compared to its bolder brothers, The Bogan and Old Bastard Shiraz.

Brooding and alluring with kirsch lavender, vanilla, plums, blackberries and wild flowers. Silky tannins on entry, with a vast array of red and blue fruits. Tight, assertive, with plenty of room for bottle development.
