Description

Alte Reben, meaning ‘Old Vines’’, demonstrates the power and flavour of the older vines from the Kaesler estate. This wine is produced entirely from grapes grown in our Marananga vineyard planted in 1899. Not many can boast custody of a nine-acre, single vineyard of Shiraz planted in the nineteenth century – we make the most of it. The wine is aged in new French oak Puncheons.

Review

Deep red colour with a good purple tint. The bouquet is spicy and complex, elegant and restrained, with star anise and balsamic herb accents, a hint of Campari, and attendant herbal bitterness, the palate full-bodied and powerful with a long-lasting aftertaste. A big, bold, and very impressive shiraz. Some acceptable bitterness in the tannin/alcohol combination. A long-term wine.

Tasting Profile
nose

Ripe dark red and blacker spectrum of blackberry and plum. Kisses of cassis and framboise wafting high in the glass. Oak reveals itself as crème caramel, vanilla, and sandalwood.

palate

Subtle but firm tannin, round and generous, stream all the way through and bulldoze their way to the end of the palate. Acid is solid, bracing, and highly structured to suit the tannin.
