The 2023 Kaesler Old Vine Shiraz is a powerful yet polished Barossa Valley red, sourced from low-yielding old vines that deliver exceptional concentration and depth. The nose is rich and aromatic, showing layers of blackberry, plum and black cherry, intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, vanilla and spice. Subtle oak influence and hints of earth add further complexity.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, with dense dark fruit flavours supported by velvety tannins and well-integrated oak. Balanced acidity provides freshness, leading to a long, smooth and structured finish with lingering spice and savoury nuances. The style is bold, expressive and age-worthy, while remaining approachable in its youth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for a premium Barossa Shiraz with richness and structure. Ideal for fans of full-bodied reds and cellar-worthy wines. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for 10–15 years. Perfect with steak, lamb or hearty grilled dishes.
