Once “The G” is discovered it can never be forgotten…

Grenache is the hidden variety of the Barossa, it’s almost been a secret until now. This unsung hero is 100% Grenache, juicy and generous…did I mention it’s also vegan friendly?

It’s only just medium bodied, which, when combined with the bright acidity and the complex but fresh aromatic makes it such a refreshing and enjoyable drink, that can be enjoyed with almost any food!

“Grenache is part of our DNA at Teusner. It’s our blood. The first wine we ever made, 2002 Joshua, 65% Grenache. Our mates said we were mad – “no one even knows what Grenache is, you’ll never sell it” they told us. Didn’t matter. Made it anyway. Now one of oursignature wines. Love the stuff. Over 130 years of provenance in the Barossa can’t be wrong. Surely?”

Winery Tasting Notes

Sourced from vineyards located around the perimeter of almost the entire

valley! The increasing elevations of many of these locations brings cooler

nights and impacts the grapes to enhance bright acidities and freshness with

supporting but not intrusive tannin. The benefit of sourcing from all over the

valley is complexity.

We tend to get the bright fresh Asian/North African spices from the deep

sands, lifted red summer fruits from the northern red clays and savoury

richness from the southern loams. Climatically these sub regions are also

quite distinct from each other which helps build the complexity in the

wine. The quality of the 2021 vintage is arguably the best the Barossa has

seen in recent times. The wines displaying wonderfully rich, vibrant and

concentrated flavours with outstanding structure, colour and balance.

Windy conditions at flowering meant lowered fruit set on the Grenache, and

crops were only slightly higher than the past two drought years. Modest

yields and ideal ripening conditions allowed us to pick early, ensuring the

fruit retained a brilliant vitality and freshness, without being over ripe. As a

result, the wine is only just medium bodied, which, when combined with the

bright acidity and the complex but fresh aromatic makes it such a refreshing

and enjoyable drink that can be enjoyed with almost any food!

Winery Profile

Teusner Wines came into being late in 2001 when Kym Teusner witnessed a conversation between his girlfriend’s uncle and his brother. They were discussing the viability of an old Grenache vineyard, planted in the Northern Barossa Valley by their grandfather. The low yields and low prices being paid by the ‘Big Boys’ meant that the vineyard was running at a loss and was facing certain destruction! Kym was loath to hear this and approached his brother in law, now business partner, to see if they could scratch together enough cash to keep these gnarled old vines in the ground. In that first year they raised enough capital for only about a quarter of the fruit from that vineyard, but this was enough for the Riebke brothers to stall their plans for these precious old vines. They were aware of a few other old blocks that fruit could be sourced from, if required, and made the first release with 165 cases of 2002 Joshua. In addition to this about 8 hogsheads of Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz was put aside, destined to be released around 24 months later as Avatar.

Our philosophy is to produce only exceptional, affordable wines by being very selective about the fruit that we source from old, well maintained vineyards. These vineyards reliably produce balanced, complex fruit which we guide, with minimal inputs, into wine. Our fruit sources are predominantly family and close friends, which allows us this selectivity in which fruit we vinify.
