The 2022 Kaesler Stonehorse Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and beautifully structured Clare Valley Cabernet sourced from estate vineyards in the Polish Hill and Watervale sub-regions. Produced by the renowned Kaesler estate, the wine reflects the cooler and later 2022 vintage, which delivered excellent freshness, balance and slow ripening conditions ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured partially in seasoned French oak, the wine combines classic varietal structure with generous fruit and impressive drinkability.
The nose reveals plum, blackberry and blueberry layered with crushed leaf, choc mint and subtle cedar spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins, vibrant acidity and a fresh core of dark berry fruit balanced by mocha and gentle oak complexity. Layers of cassis, black cherry and savoury herbs unfold with excellent structure and polish, finishing long, smooth and quietly powerful with classic Clare Valley freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Kaesler Stonehorse Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished and approachable Clare Valley Cabernet — rich, fresh and beautifully balanced with excellent value and versatility. Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steak, mushroom dishes or mature cheddar. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar comfortably through 2032.
