ABOUT THIS WINE
The Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz 2019 is a full-bodied red wine from Australia's renowned Barossa Valley, produced by Kaesler Wines. The winery's history traces back to pioneers who settled the region in the 1840s, planting their first vines in 1893. This Shiraz is sourced from estate vineyards ranging from 15 to 40 years old, cultivated using dry-grown viticulture practices. The 2019 vintage experienced drought conditions in the Barossa Valley, which typically leads to reduced yields but can result in wines of notable concentration. The Stonehorse Shiraz has received recognition, including a Gold award at the Sakura Awards for the 2019 vintage.
