They focused on Rhône varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) planted as Bush Vines. In 1893 the Kaesler family took charge of these vines and added more Grenache in the 1930’s and Shiraz in the 60’s and 70’s. In 1999, renowned agribusiness entrepreneur, Ed Peter and established winemaker Reid Bosward, seized the opportunity to purchase this historic property. They immediately set about regenerating the famous old vines with over 70% of the red wine vines having an average age of 40 years or more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is this premium old vine material which produces intense styles of Shiraz such as the “Old Bastard” which takes it name from the difficulty of maintaining these characterful vines. Winemaking is now overseen by Tim Dolan, who joined from Peter Lehmann in 2022. Tim is a third generation Barossa winemaker, who understands the importance of regenerative farming. Kaesler has a partnership with ‘Trees for Life’ which saw up to four hectares of saline land revegetated with native plants in an aim to reduce further degradation to the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"stonehorse-by-kaesler-shiraz","title":"Stonehorse Shiraz by Kaesler 2020\/21","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Stonehorse by Kaesler range of wines are full of character, just like the teams of Clydesdale horses that used to work the heavy clay soil at the Kaesler Vineyard, long before tractors were invented.

Much like a favourite flannelette shirt, the Kaesler Bogan is full of warmth and personality. Creator Reid Bosward was determined to prove that being described as a ‘country bogan’ was no barrier to producing a fine Barossa Shiraz and this wine is proof that a classy red transcends class. The Bogan is a classic, rich and pure Shiraz that will age gracefully over the next 20 years. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, destemmed and fermented in tank for 8 – 9 days, with pump overs as required. After fermentation the wine was pressed and left to settle for a few days before being racked into seasoned French oak and matured for 15 months. Bright, deep crimson in colour the nose offers dark plum and blueberry aromas, with hints of charcuterie and char from the integrated oak. The palate is classic Bogan in style, full bodied, dense and rich, with flavours of dark fruits, layering the palate, finishing soft with pure, fine tannins.[#intro]The Bogan is a fine Barossa Shiraz \u0026amp; proof that a great red transcends class...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaesler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40820287995971,"sku":"A21KAESLERBOGAN","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/TheBoganShirazBt.jpg?v=1703776686"},{"product_id":"stonehorse-riesling-by-kaesler","title":"Stonehorse Riesling by Kaesler 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kaesler Stonehorse Riesling comes from estate grown vineyards in Watervale, a sub-region of the Clare Valley, which is renowned for producing some of the best Rieslings in the world.
