At Kaesler we feel that Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon is the lost child of the region. With careful handling Barossa Cabernets can be amazing and the Kaesler Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception.

GRAPE VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon
REGION: Barossa Valley
VINTAGE CONDITIONS: The 2021 vintage was in a word ‘Brilliant’. Barossa saw cool and dry conditions which has produced excellent quality reds and whites. Great growing conditions combined with good yields created a memorable harvest, with all wines showing a wide array of aromas and flavours. Soft supple tannins are in abundance in the reds which has ensured easy drinking in their youth, with careful cellaring also reaping rewards. The highlight for 2021 was the overall quality, a genuine 10/10 season.
ALCOHOL: 14.5%
Carefully hand harvested at ultimate fruit sweetness from estate vineyards, the fruit is fermented separately on skins for 9 days with temperatures ranging from 19-28 deg celsius. The wine is then pressed to stainless steel tanks and allowed to go dry. Malolactic fermentation is completed in new and 1 year old French oak barriques for 20 months and topped monthly.
Description
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Barossa Valley is cooler than is generally believed and
a great climate for Cabernet. The thing with Barossa
Cabernet is that when it’s ready for harvest our winery
is full of Shiraz. This is when the winemakers beg our
viticulturalist to harvest one fermenter’s worth right in
the sweet spot. Barossa Valley Cabernet is always going
to be richer and juicer than some of our cooler climate
cousins, but this helps aid its drinkability in its youth.
