95/100 — Aaron Brasher, The Real Review · 2020 Vintage
“Black pepper, smoky bacon and dark cherry. Complexity on effusive 2020. Perfumed and floral with black tea hints, poached with juicy fruit and a balanced endless finish.”
— James Suckling · 2020 Vintage · Tasted: Nov 2024
“Smoky and spicy, this plush red has notes of plums, nutmeg, mocha and bay leaves, followed by licorice and cracked pepper. It’s full-bodied, creamy and deliciously peppery, with soft tannins and good acidity. Drink now or hold.”
About This Wine
Kaesler Old Vine Shiraz is produced from vines planted in 1961.
The vineyard was planted with cuttings from the Old Bastard 1893 vines and aged in barrels first used by Old Bastard Shiraz.
Producer Notes
Carefully hand harvested with only the best bunches selected from our precious old vines.
Fermentation took place for 8–10 days with careful pump overs to make sure the juice is not over worked. At pressing the free run juice is taken off and the grape must is lightly pressed in order to keep the tannins soft. The juice is then settled and racked to French oak puncheons. Fermentation took 7 to 8 days and in this time the wine was pumped over 2 to 3 times per day to help extract colour from the skins and keep the cap moist in an effort to maintain freshness.
After gentle pressing the wine was left to rest for 2 to 3 days, then racked to French puncheons for around 18 months.
