KAESLER OLD BASTARD BAROSSA VALLEY 2019

Winemaker Notes

A Vintage of Generous Elegance and Intensity

The 2019 Old Bastard presents a striking ruby red color that deepens into purple and maroon hues, reflecting the rich complexity and depth that await within. This wine encapsulates the essence of dark berries—blackberry, mulberry, blueberry, and raspberry—each note distinct, yet harmoniously blended with hints of ripe plum for a full-spectrum flavor experience.

As you explore further, delightful layers of mocha and spice emerge, thanks to the use of extra tight grain oak during aging. These elements combine to fill the glass with an intoxicating aroma that promises and delivers a profound sensory encounter. Described aptly in two words: ‘mouth-filling,’ this wine envelops the palate with its robust and full-bodied texture.

The brilliant 2019 vintage shines through in the Old Bastard, offering a wine that is both timeless and generous. Upon tasting, the palate unfolds seamlessly, revealing a structured and well-balanced profile that leads to a long-lasting, memorable finish. This vintage not only captivates with its immediate appeal but also holds promise for those who might wish to explore its evolution over time.
