The Kaesler vineyards were owned and run by the Kaesler family from 1893 to 1986. In 1999, winemaker Reid Bosward seized the opportunity to become the head of the new Kaesler family when he and his partners bought Kaesler, becoming the third owners of this property. At this time, the Kaesler vineyards consisted of over 70% red wine vines, all 40 years of age or more.
Now having access to premium old vine material, Reid set out to produce bold estate wines representative of the Barossa Valley.
Magpie Estate is a partnership between Vindependents member Noel Young and Rolf Binder. Founded in 1993, and driven by a desire to show off the Barossa Valley’s rich resources of Rhône varietals. Over the last 20 years Noel and Rolf have forged long term relationships with growers that allow them to consistently produce excellent quality wines that highlight the vibrant fruit character of the Barossa. ‘The Scoundrel’ is a range of wines that Noel and Rolf have made exclusively for Vindependents and offers superb quality at a very fair price.
