The Kaesler vineyards were owned and run by the Kaesler family from 1893 to 1986. In 1999maker Reid Bosward seized the opportunity to become the head of the new Kaesler family when he and his partners bought Kaesler, becoming the third owners of this property. Kaesler owns just over 37 hectares (92 acres) of vineyards in the Barossa Valley, the majority of it is old vine material planted in 1893, 1899, 1930 and in the 1960’s.
"It’s plush, seductive and laden with sweet, ripe fruit but the alcohol is under control and it feels beautifully well balanced throughout. There’s a good deal of sawdusty, cedary oak here too but it’s meshed perfectly with the fruit and just feels right in context anyway. WOMS is in excellent form here. The fruit tastes of black jelly beans and blackberry with peppercorn and sweet spice drifted through. The tannin is both fine and assertive. It offers a wealth of flavour on its own, meticulous terms." 94pts - Campbell Mattinson - WineFront
