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.

The Real 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.
