Cabernet - Stonehorse Shiraz by Kaesler 2021

Kaesler's Stonehorse Shiraz is a wine that proudly represents the tradition and innovation of Australian viticulture, in particular that of the Barossa Valley region, famous for its intense and characteristic Shiraz. Kaesler, a winery with a long history dating back to 1893, uses Shiraz grapes from its own vineyards, some of which were planted more than a century ago, to create this robust and complex wine.

Stonehorse Shiraz is known for its aromatic intensity and robust structure. On the nose, it offers rich aromas of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper, vanilla and chocolate, the result of aging in wood. These olfactory characteristics introduce an equally rich and complex palate, where the flavors of ripe fruit blend with toasted and spicy accents, creating an enveloping tasting experience.

In the mouth, Kaesler's Stonehorse Shiraz stands out for its fullness and roundness, with ripe and well-integrated tannins that support a solid structure. The balance between acidity and alcohol is remarkable, contributing to a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of sweet spice and dark fruit.

Ideal as a companion for rich and tasty dishes, such as roast meats, lamb dishes or mature cheeses, Stonehorse Shiraz can also be enjoyed on its own, as a meditation wine, to fully explore its complexity and depth.

The production of Stonehorse Shiraz highlights Kaesler's ability to balance the typical power of Barossa Shiraz with a refinement and complexity that makes every sip memorable. This wine is a tribute to the region's rich viticultural heritage, as well as a testament to the winery's commitment to creating high-quality wines that express the unique character of their terroir.
