2023 Kaesler ‘The Bogan’ Shiraz

$60.00

Much like a favourite flannelette shirt, the Kaesler Bogan Shiraz is full of warmth and personality. Creator Reid Bosward was determined to prove that being described as a ‘country bogan’ was no barrier to producing a fine Barossa Shiraz. Proof that a classy red transcends class. The Bogan is a quintessential, full-bodied Shiraz produced from an assemblage of estate vines planted in 1899 and 1960s.

REGION: Barossa Valley

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: Due to La Nina conditions, the Barossa region experienced one of its wettest and coolest Spring. This resulted in delayed budburst with a flow-on effect on ripening and picking decisions, with vintage beginning 3-4 weeks later than usual. Disease pressure was increased by the wet conditions and required diligent vineyard management. Although the season was challenging, our ongoing regenerative farming techniques have assisted with building resilient vines that continue to produce outstanding fruit. This was evident in the 2023 vintage with the winemakers talking about the wine being elegant and structured with depth and length of flavour.

ALCOHOL: 14.5%

The Bogan remains true to its roots – bold, unapologetic, and unmistakably Barossa. Year after year, it continues to evolve, pushing the limits of what a classic Shiraz can be. The 2023 vintage is nothing short of exceptional. With ideal growing conditions, this release captures the very best of our old vine plantings. One of the finest Bogan in its 20-year legacy, it delivers rich, vibrant purity and depth of fruit in every sip. Crafted to impress now, and destined to reward cellaring for the next 15 to 20 years.
