The first members of the Kaesler family settled in the Barossa Valley in 1845. The vineyards date back to 1893, but the Kaesler family ownership ended in 1968. After several changes, the present (much-expanded) Kaesler Wines was acquired by a small group of investment bankers (who have since acquired Yarra Yering), in conjunction with former Flying Winemaker Reid Bosward and wife Bindy. Reid’s experience shows through in the wines, which now come from estate vineyards adjacent to the winery, and 10ha in the Marananga area. The latter includes shiraz planted in 1899, with both blocks seeing plantings in the 1930s, ’60s, then each decade through to the present. The Small Valley Vineyard wines, made by Stephen Dew, are produced from 49ha in the Adelaide Hills. Exports to all major markets.
Deep, dark red colour with a purple tint. The bouquet is reserved and shy but clean and attractive, while the palate delivers loads of sweetly ripe blackberry fruit. Delicious flavour, lots of berries and lovely ripeness. Slight bitterness in the tannins on the aftertaste. It's a gorgeous Big Red, and I fail to see what is bogan-esque about it. 23 MAY 2019 Drink 2019–2032
