2025 Kaesler ‘The Fave’ Grenache

Kaesler have several Grenache vineyards that really perform on their own from time to time, and the single vineyard ‘The Fave’ seems to excel more years than not. Normally it is a walk up start to Avignon, but sometimes we cut a little out for special treatment as ‘The Fave’.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: The 2025 Barossa Valley vintage was shaped by a dry winter and spring with rainfall well below average. Warm August conditions brought budburst two to three weeks earlier than usual, increasing exposure to frost, and several notable frost events occurred in mid September across Marananga and the vineyards surrounding the winery. From October onward, consistently warm daytime and nighttime temperatures supported strong growth and healthy canopy development, and ripening progressed quickly through summer. Harvest began early, with the final fruit picked by mid March. Yields were supported by a strong second crop with smaller berries delivering concentrated flavour.
