This classic Barossa blend of grenache, mataró and shiraz, aged in seasoned oak barrels provides delicious, savory drinking today but is a wine that will continue to improve over the medium term. Detailed aromas of dark blackberries and plums, Asian spices, veal jus, pepper, earth and mocha oak. The aromas carry over onto the palate that, whilst savory and spicy, seems a little muted when compared to the vibrant, juicy lines of its unoaked brother, the Teusner Joshua. Drink now

Well named: the Barossa Valley origin of this Grenache Mataro Shiraz blend would not be easy to differentiate from top end McLaren Vale examples. Spiced plum, blackberry, and a contrasting nuance of savoury/ earthy notes from the mataro provide backbone; all come together perfectly.

Deep red/purple colour. Rich, ripe dark berry and chocolate aromas. The palate is rich and fleshy, soft and medium to full-bodied, with ample fine-grained, supple tannins. It’s lovely now, but age will surely bring out interesting complexities
