Kaesler Avignon Barossa Valley 2018 GSM 750ml

Kaesler is a privately owned wine company that produces estate grown wines from vineyards as old as 1893. The Kaesler family were pioneers who settled in the Barossa Valley in the 1840s. In 1891 they bought a parcel of land and in 1893 planted their first vines.

Today Kaesler wines are made from these ancient, dry grown vineyards, by the third owners of this magnificent property. 

Garnet with a bright youthful edge. Plum & musk with blueberry aromas. Nice mineral acidity on entry. The palate expands, to offer a supple elegant mouthfeel. The palate has a good length that is well knitted to finish by the acidity.

The appetite for Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre (Mataro) would see many GSM vineyards have their heads guillotined. The despotic vine pull scheme of the ’80s saw many un-productive elderly, turned to ash and returned to the soil from whence they came. At Kaesler we retain and respect these varieties and blends.
