The 2020 Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz is a rich dark purple colour, displaying youthful tints. It boasts hints of plum, redcurrant, earth, and a touch of charred oak. This vintage is strong and intense, with a low yield that requires ageing in the cellar before serving.

"The Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz consistently impresses for its fruit density, textural flow and latent horsepower, and this year it's no different. Opulent blackberry, black cherry and plum fruit cut with hints of baking spices, dark chocolate, licorice, earth and violet top notes. Pure and beautifully weighted with savoury, gypsum-like tannins, bright acidity and impressive balance of the depth of fruit finishing long, true and distinctly Barossan."
