Number #1 Sparkling Red!
When the Barossa Valley’s Teusner wines roll into town it’s time to stand to attention….
This week we jumped into a series of lip-smacking Grenache based wines delivering on all levels…from the bright, fresh and crunchy, highly perfumed and juicy 2022 ‘The G’ Grenache (delicious) we moved onto the 2022 ‘Avatar’ Grenache Mataro Shiraz. It was silky, savoury and supple and at $35 for a 97PT wine is a steal.
Shiraz from the Barossa often takes Centre stage so here we go! The 2021 ‘Bilmore’ Shiraz delivers all you’d want from the variety and Halliday suggests this as ‘Exceptional value’... which it is!
With Christmas closing in fast there’s nothing better than some Sparkling Shiraz to go with your Christmas ham or turkey but why wait until then, I would suggest a few bottles at your next bbq or family gathering to get the party started!
Huon Hooke’s #1 2018 Sparkling Red from Australia - Best Sparkling Red Real Review the 2018 Teusner MC Sparkling Shiraz at the sharp price of $58.50/btl 6pk buy. (When tasted by Hooke the suggested price was $65/btl).
Growing up the son of a sheep farmer in the riverside town of Tailem Bend in South Australia, Kym Teusner couldn’t envision a life for himself that involved sheep. Keen to fly the nest as soon possible, he headed to Adelaide straight out of high school to study business management. Working in restaurants to pay his way through university, the wonders of wine were soon discovered. Completely hooked on this newfound favourite drink, any spare time available became devoted to studying the stuff!
Whilst life in the hospitality game presents plenty of obvious attractions to a 20 something year old country kid living in the big smoke, the country lifestyle was calling…especially when he’d met a Barossa girl who would become his wife! The idea of owning a restaurant or bar in the Barossa briefly crossed his mind, but with the numbers not stacking up and a bit of light ‘self-analysis’ telling him to follow his heart, it was back to university to study winemaking. And thank goodness he did!
