Kaesler WOMS is the quintessential Australian blend: the perfect mix of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that produces a complex but rich, classic dry red wine, referred to as a ‘Weapon of Mass Seduction’ (WOMS). The limited edition WOMS is only crafted in years that yield outstanding vintage quality. The 2022 WOMS release is a tribute to the harvest, winemaking and diversity of the region. Hand harvested and destemmed and then allowed to settle for a day. After this, the ferments are then pumped over as needed in order to provide colour and tannin concentration. This process continued for 7 days for the Shiraz and 8 days for the Cabernet. The free run juice is then pumped away and using just the weight of the fruit we collect what we call ‘the draining’ over the next 8-10 hours. The wine is then put directly into new French oak barrels to complete Malolactic fermentation. Full bodied with black cherries, vanilla and leather characters. The fruit is solid and tightened by oak and tannin in its youth. With cellaring, the oak will lay down and the fruit will prevail. - Kaesler, Winery.
