Kaesler Old Bastard is a distinguished Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, Australia, renowned for its exceptional quality and rich history. The vineyard, planted in 1893 by the Silesian Kaesler family, is among the oldest in the region. In 1999, agribusiness entrepreneur Ed Peter and winemaker Reid Bosward acquired the property, focusing on revitalizing the ancient vines and producing premium wines.
The 'Old Bastard' Shiraz, sourced from these 125-year-old vines, is celebrated for its depth, complexity, and age-worthiness. This wine exemplifies the unique characteristics imparted by the ancient, dry-grown bush vines, offering a rich and intense fruit profile.
Under the guidance of Reid Bosward, Kaesler Wines has become a benchmark for Barossa Shiraz, with the 'Old Bastard' Shiraz being highly sought after by collectors worldwide. The winery's commitment to quality and tradition ensures that each vintage reflects the exceptional terroir of the Barossa Valley.
