97 / 100"From the estate vineyard planted in 1899. Scored 97 points when first tasted in Nov '14 for its elegance, light to medium body and mouthfeel in the context of the Barossa Valley, and retains those qualities, which in turn give it great length. On its journey towards the ensuing plateau of 15-20 years."

Tasting Notes
For lovers of Barossa Shiraz comes the coveted Alte Reben by the iconic Kaesler family, a hand-picked nine acre vineyard dating back to 1899. Cart a ‘12, ‘13 and ‘14, run a little home vertical tasting and explore their personalities. Similar in their dense dark fruit and pepper, enjoy the ‘12’s smoky cedar, chocolate and humbling earth.
