Kaesler Wines

Old Bastard Shiraz 2014 750mL

Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz is one of the Barossa's most evocative wines. Based on a small patchwork of "old bastards", planted around 1893 on sandy clay loams over clay, it captures the essence of contemporary Australian winemaking philosophy where individual vineyard site is the ascendant star. The wine with its distinctive Ralph Steadman caricature label is a highly individual style with elegance of fruit, density and richness, savoury muscular tannins and underlying oak. Fermented in stainless steel and matured in 'Burgundian' oak for 12 to 19 months, depending on the character of the vintage, it is bottled “au naturel”, with no fining and filtration.
