Kaesler Wines is home to some of the most historic vineyards in the Barossa Valley, with plantings dating back to 1893. The winery produces a range of premium estate-grown wines, including old-vine Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro, reflecting the region’s deep winemaking heritage. The iconic ‘Old Bastard’ Shiraz is a standout, crafted from some of the oldest surviving vines in the Barossa. Kaesler’s commitment to traditional, dry-grown viticulture results in intensely flavoured, complex wines that are true expressions of their vineyard origins.
With a mix of estate and grower vineyards, Kaesler sources fruit from a range of terroirs across the Barossa, including its home block in Nuriootpa and the Marananga vineyard on the western ridge. Sustainable vineyard management and minimal intervention winemaking techniques are at the heart of their philosophy, ensuring each wine reflects its site with purity and balance.
The Kaesler Cellar Door offers an inviting and immersive tasting experience in a picturesque setting surrounded by old vines and historic buildings. Guests can explore a selection of estate-grown wines, including current releases and back vintages, with exclusive large-format wines available on-site. The knowledgeable team provides insights into Kaesler’s winemaking approach and the history of the estate, making for an engaging and informative visit.
For those seeking a deeper connection to the vineyard, guided tours through the old vines—including those planted in 1893—can be arranged by booking in advance. Cheese platters are available on weekends, offering a perfect pairing for the rich and bold wines that define Kaesler’s portfolio.
