Winemaker Reid Bosward on hearing the news said “This recognises years of hard work by the whole team at Kaesler. We all have a soft spot for the Bogan around here as it celebrates everything we love about the Barossa and the people behind Kaesler. Deep Barossa Roots, Old Vine Barossa Shiraz and a love of being a
Bogan!“ The Bogan is an assemblage of vines planted in Marananga and Nuriootpa. The oldest vines are 119 years old. “By the time we were harvesting the fruit for this wine we had already been in vintage mode for one month. On the 4th March 2016 we could see right from the start that the ‘16 Bogan was going to be a great Barossa Shiraz as the fruit just looked and tasted fantastic. After the second round of pump overs you could see that colour and flavour was never going to be a problem. This wine has a long future, Bogan to the core – prospers for 20 years.”

"The Barossa Valley is world famous for concentrated styles of Shiraz. Bogan Shiraz is well known to be a quintessential, full bodied style of Shiraz.

Deep dark red to black with an amazing purple hue. It has aromas of blackberry and white pepper with hints of spice as you would expect from good use of oak. From the first mouthful it’s a flavour bomb in your mouth, with its sweet black fruit in the front though to the seductive French oak on the very back of the palate, this along with its silky tannins. Should leave one very satisfied indeed."
