Kym Teusner is one of the most highly regarded 'next generation' Barossa winemakers; producing wines with a wonderful balance of the natural power of old-vine Barossa and an appealing elegance and complexity. Teusner's Avatar has established itself as a benchmark example of the famous Barossa blend of Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz.
The 2023 Teusner Avatar is another impressive release with the vine age of the Grenache and Mataro vines almost 100 years old. The Grenache delivers spice and bright red fruits, Mataro for savoury earthiness and depth, while a small amount of Shiraz add plump plum and rich black fruit. The 2023 release of Teusner Avatar is again in cracking form and offers sensational value at this discounted price.
"94 Points. 60/30/10% grenache/mataro/shiraz from the parishes of Ebenezer, Moppa, Seppeltsfield, Williamstown and Tanunda. The Avatar is always a firm favourite and the 2023 version does not disappoint. Medium bodied, pure plummy fruits, dredged with spice, citrus blossom top-notes, earth, gingerbread and a touch of sarsaparilla in the background. Ditto on the palate! Balanced, fine, gentle, pillowy tannins and a whole lot of drinkability. 14.5% Alc. Drink 2024-2034" - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
