2021 Kaesler Barbera

At Kaesler we like to experiment with some non-traditional Barossa varieties that we know the consumer will love. Unlike some of our other wines, the Barbera speaks for itself as far as a name goes – it is exactly that, the variety Barbera, traditionally grown in Italy, but performs exceptionally well in Australia.

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.

WINEMAKING
Barbera is well known for its robust, vibrant colour and tight acidity and this wine delivers exactly these characteristics. With its natural acidity and bold flavours, this wine is a joy to drink now, but will go the distance if carefully cellared.
