Kaesler’s ‘The Bogan’ Shiraz 2022 from the Barossa Valley is an exceptional full-bodied expression crafted from estate vines averaging 65 years old, including precious 1899 plantings that deliver extraordinary depth. Bright deep crimson with a purple hue, dark plum and blueberry dominate alongside hints of charcuterie and char from integrated oak. Classic Bogan in style, the palate is dense and rich with layered dark fruits, finishing soft with pure fine tannins that balance power and elegance.

This bold Barossa Shiraz pairs brilliantly with beef bourguignon, venison stew and lamb shanks where its robust character complements slow-cooked meats, while aged cheddar allows the wine’s complexity to shine. Hand-picked fruit fermented for 8–9 days before maturing 15 months in seasoned French oak creates one of the finest Bogan releases in its 20-year legacy.

Awarded Gold at Barossa Wine Show 2024/2025 and Winewise Championship 2025, plus 94 points from Dave Brookes at Halliday Wine Companion, this 2022 vintage captures vibrant purity from ideal growing conditions. Crafted to impress now yet destined to reward cellaring for 15–20 years at 15% alcohol.
