Teusner Albert Shiraz 2021

Albert Shiraz is named after Kym Teusner's Grandfather, Albert Alfred Teusner …a man admired for his commitment and his persistence. The Albert Shiraz is made from parcels of fruit sourced from a couple of our favourite vineyards… an old block at Ebenezer in the Barossa’s North and another in the Barossa’s Far North at Koonunga.

The old vineyards of the Barossa tend to yield fruit with elevated concentration of flavour and soft, supple and velvety tannins that set them apart from the younger stuff. The Ebenezer vineyard drives ferrous depth, lifted perfume and dark fruit complexity whilst the Koonunga block provides mid-palate richness and muscle. Complex aromatic of dark fruits, hints of menthol spice and charcuterie, paired with a palate packed with boysenberry, black satsuma plum, black cherry and cassis with great intensity and length. Tannins are fine grained, supple, long and well balance with the acidity to see this wine cellar beautifully over the next decade or so.
