The 2022 WOMS is a blend of 59% Shiraz and 41% Cabernet Sauvignon from select old vine parcels that are of immense concentration and fruit depth. Aged in French Oak for 18 months prior to bottling.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Winter rainfall for 2021 was 48% above average. The wet winter was welcomed after 3 dry years. Maximum temperatures were below average for the beginning of the growing season; however, the latter half was warmer providing good ripening conditions. A hailstorm on the 28th of October severely damaged some vines, fortunately most recovered and secondary shoots grew however, they were typically less fruitful than primary shoots which resulted in lower yields in some varieties.
WINEMAKING
Kaesler WOMS is the quintessential Australian blend: the perfect mix of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that produces a complex but rich, classic dry red wine, referred to as a ‘Weapon of Mass Seduction’ (WOMS). The limited edition WOMS is only crafted in years that yield outstanding vintage quality. The 2022 WOMS release is a tribute to the harvest, winemaking and diversity of the region. Hand harvested and destemmed and then allowed to settle for a day. After this, the ferments are then pumped over as needed in order to provide colour and tannin concentration. This process continued for 7 days for the Shiraz and 8 days for the Cabernet. The free run juice is then pumped away and using just the weight of the fruit we collect what we call ‘the draining’ over the next 8-10 hours. The wine is then put directly into new French oak barrels to complete Malolactic fermentation.
APPEARANCE: Purple, crimson with a dense centre and a youthful edge.
BOUQUET: Blackberries, mulberries and cherries with hints of charry oak.
PALATE: Full bodied with black cherries, vanilla and leather characters. The fruit is solid and tightened by oak and tannin in its youth. With cellaring, the oak will lay down and the fruit will prevail.
FOOD MATCH: Slow cooked roast meat or rich stews.
Region: Barossa Valley
Alc/Vol: 14%
