Winemaker Kym Teusner is one of the Barossa’s most talented young winemakers, but with a twist. While many of his generation are making massively rich and ripe reds - often at very high prices; Teusner has aimed to balance the natural power of old vine Barossa material with careful, reductive winemaking that produces wines of wonderful elegance and complexity.
The 2021 Teusner Bilmore Shiraz is another super example of the Teusner Barossa Shiraz style; soft, flavoursome and mouth filling with an enormous level of 'drinkability', this is another sensational offering from Teusner.
"92 Points. The 'Roger Bilmore' character on the label is the alter-ego of a bloke I once worked with at a winery. I still bear the scars. Western Ridge shiraz here with all the ironstone-flecked, black-fruited intensity that you'd expect. Blackberry, cassis, coal dust, roasting meats and deep, dark spice. Broody, serious, and deep ... just like Roger himself, though he was a bit wilder and more unpredictable. Good, deeply resonant drinking. $30. 14.5% alc. Screwcap. Drink: 2023 - 2028"- Dave Brookes, winecompanion.com.au.
