2010 Kaesler Alte Reben Shiraz Barossa Valley Australia 750ml

Variety: 100%Shiraz

Vineyard Soils: Schist rock over blue grey clay / deep compacted broken down schist with red sandstone pebbles on the surface along creek line (Marananga)

Vine Age: Shiraz planted 1899 GI: Barossa Valley

Summary:
100% Shiraz sourced from Kaesler estate vines planted in 1899 at Marananga. This vineyard has a soil type that is very unique and quite different to most of the Kaesler vineyards. We always suspected that we could do a single vineyard wine from this patch, as it is fairly large by old vine standards and not too many can boast custody of nine acres of Shiraz planted three centuries ago in 1899. It’s a national treasure!

Vinification:
Fruit was hand-picked. The wine has been matured in 40% new and 60% one-year-old
French oak for 21 months. No fining or filtration.
ALC 14.5 % pH 3.55 TA 6.14 g/l

Tasting Note:
Colour: Deep red.
Nose: Blackberries, loganberries, mulberries with hints of espresso and dark chocolate.

Palate: Huge length of flavour on the palate, yet refined – you can taste some of the oak and youthful tannin. Beautifully raw, yet elegant. It’s an attractive wine and will age with grace.

Notes: Limited Edition, only 500 cases produced. Cellars for up to 20 years in correct cellaring.
