Alte Reben, meaning ‘Old Vines’’ in German, demonstrates the power and flavour of the older vines from the Kaesler estate. This wine is produced entirely from grapes grown in our Marananga vineyard planted in 1899. Not many can boast custody of a nine-acre, single vineyard of Shiraz planted in the nineteenth century – we make the most of it.
The fruit for Alte Reben was handpicked and was left for 7 days on skins. During this time, the wine was pumped over gently twice per day. This wine has been matured in 35% new and 65% 1 and 2-year-old French oak puncheons for 19 months.
Beef fillet steak and slow roasted root vegetables.
Deep crimson with dense purple hue. Raspberries, red plums and spice.
Oak supporting the rich, structural palate. Blueberries and spice overlaying the dense and rich full-bodied style that is Alte Reben at its absolute best.
