95 Points - Campbell Mattinson
We've been big fans of Teusner Wines over the past two decades, with Kym Teusner and his team continuing to craft some of the most impressive old-vine Barossa red wines. Teusner's Albert Shiraz is named after Kym Teusner’s Grandfather, Albert Alfred Teusner; a man admired for his commitment and his persistence.
The 2023 Teusner Albert Shiraz is made from parcels of fruit sourced from a couple of Teusner's favourite vineyards; an old block at Ebenezer in the Barossa’s North and another at the Barossa’s South Eastern most extremity at Williamstown. A wine of incredible fruit purity there‘s plenty of blackberry, black satsuma plum, black cherry and cassis flavours. An innately approachable and elegant rendition of Barossa Shiraz, this latest release is sure to have plenty of appeal.
"95 Points. There’s a bit of wow factor on offer here. The fruit is so ripe, and has such great spread, and is so well meshed with spiced cedarwood oak, and it keeps its momentum going as a net of fine-grained tannin flings out through the back half of the wine. This is a moody, dark, film noir expression of shiraz with deep shadows, bright bursts of violet and an outstretched finish. It’s destined to age superbly."- Campbell Mattinson , The Wine Front.
