Teusner Albert Shiraz 2022 (Barossa Valley)
Dozen Price: $659.88
RRP: $70.00
The Teusner Albert Shiraz 2022 vintage boasts a complex aroma of dark fruits, with subtle hints of menthol spice and charcuterie. The palate is rich with boysenberry, black satsuma plum, black cherry, and cassis, exhibiting great intensity and length. The tannins are fine-grained and supple, providing a long and well-balanced finish. With its impeccable acidity, this wine is sure to cellar beautifully for the next decade or more.
"100% shiraz from Koonunga and Ebenezer, matured 24 months in French oak, 50% new. Classic Barossa here. Ironstone-flecked blackberry, satsuma plum and black cherry fruits, fruitcake spice, licorice, dark chocolate, turned earth, choc-mint and pan juices. Plush with melt-in-the-mouth tannins and a twang of citrus acidity on the back end."

Winery & Vintage Info
Albert, my grandfather, was a man of strong will but quiet leadership, standing firm where others may have faltered. A fitting paragon of this Barossa Valley Shiraz.
Made from parcels of fruit sourced from a couple of our favourite old vine Shiraz vineyards – one located in Ebenezer in the Barossa’s north, the other in Koonunga in the Barossa’s northwest.
A cooler contrast to the previous vintage, with a long
steady ripening due largely to the absence of extreme heat. These prevailing conditions favoured wonderful flavour development at modest sugar levels, giving rise to great intensity, vitality and brightness in the resulting wines. Shiraz from the North Barossa in particular exhibited wonderfully refined tannin profiles which act as a perfect foil for the bright aromatics and rich flavours.
In general, the wines from 2022 are deeply coloured and full flavoured yet they retain a fabric of finesse and vibrancy that sets the scene for a long life ahead – Albert is no exception.
The old vineyards of the Barossa tend to yield fruit with elevated concentration of flavour and soft, supple and velvety tannins that set them apart from the younger stuff. The Marananga vineyard drives the darkened ferrous depth, lifted perfume and dark fruit complexity whilst the Koonunga block provides mid-palate richness and muscle with a fine whirl of mint.
22 Months on new (50%), second fill and third fill French oak barriques, completing a natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and resting on fine lees throughout maturation to enhance texture.
