Aromas of cherry fruit with spicy and earthy notes displaying an attractive nose. Aniseed characters complement these fragrances, making way for a dry and soft palate. The wine reveals strawberry and raspberry flavours, savoury tannins, and a wonderful finish. This rich and bold wine will reward careful cellaring.\n \n Producer Information\n Kaesler is an Australian wine producer, located in the Barossa Valley of South Australia. It has been producing premium quality, estate grown Shiraz from old vines for over 20 years. Kaesler produces a range of classic Barossa wines.
