95 Points - Dave Brookes
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 Joshua is an un-oaked version of the classic Barossa blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro.
Joshua's vibrancy and purity of fruit have won this wine many fans over the past decade and the 2024 Teusner Joshua is again in great form. A perfect combination of this great Barossa varietals, with lifted spice and red fruits from the Grenache, earth and savouriness from the Mataro and a dash of power and palate weight being delivered by the Shiraz.
"95 Points. The much-loved and freakishly consistent Joshua - a grenache, shiraz and mataro blend - is again on form in the excellent '24 vintage. Juicy with plum, cranberry and raspberry fruits and layered with exotic spice and hints of dried citrus rind, blossom, dried meats and earth. Pure and plummy with a gentle slide into savoury on the finish, it's built for effortless consumption and it is at that which it excels. 14.5% alc. $36. Drink: 2025 - 2040.
