About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaMade from a single vineyard that was planted back in 1893, Kaesler 'Old Bastard' Shiraz is one of the most foreboding, rich and full-bodied Barossa Shiraz available. When first released this wine confused the Kaesler winemakers somewhat, not knowing exactly which way this ethereal beast would turn. Now a few years down the track we can see those svelte mocha, chocolate, coffee bean, black fruit notes starting to win out over the great oak used to mature the wine.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Very concentrated, very dense, brooding kind of wine, but has a lightness too – a flightiness that keeps you going back to glass. Tarry, charry, earthy and deep, but again, there’s a whip clean through the finish and savoury tannins chiming in. Surprising lightness on feet for a wine with this density. Quixotic. Heat builds. As does syrupiness, but has a place, and done pretty well for that, and the seduction builds with time.
