Fermentation took 7 to 8 days and in this time the wine was pumped over 2 to 3 times per day to help extract colour from the skins and keep the cap moist in an effort to maintain freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter gentle pressing the wine was left to rest for 2 to 3 days, then racked to French puncheons for around 18 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Barossa Valley \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Sugar: 3.6 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: Oaked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Barrel Fermented · Old vines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Reid Bosward and Stephen Dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Natural cork closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2023–2035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53332137050475,"sku":"SK70833312","price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/Kaesler_Old_Vine_Shiraz_750ml.png?v=1780388982"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/collections\/Kaesler.png?v=1769579483","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/collections\/kaesler-wines.oembed","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
