From Barossa Valley old-vine blocks, Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz 2014 is a flagship, full-bodied expression of Shiraz. Deeply concentrated dark fruit, integrated oak, and a spicy, peppery backbone yield a wine of remarkable presence and aging potential. Pair with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, or game meats.
