  2017 Gamekeepers Shiraz, Grenache, Touriga, St Hallett

  £1395

  This is one of our favourite quaffing red wines, it just such a well-crafted wine and really shows how skilled the winemakers at St Hallet are at making great wines for every pocket. The Shiraz, Grenache & Touriga grapes are sourced from mostly southern Barossa Valley, with red-brown loam over shale soils, perfect for highlighting fresh varietal characters.

  Ripe red berry fruits and spice with a lift of floral notes are prominent on the nose. A seamless integration highlighting the best attributes from each variety in the blend. A spectrum of bright red fruits and supple tannin from the Shiraz combines with the generous juicy raspberry flavours the Grenache. Touriga Nacional complements perfectly with rose petal and floral-like spice. It’s what we call a 2 bottler!

  2019 ‘The Joshua’ Grenache, Mataro & Shiraz, Teusner

  £2200

  Joshua is the wine that started Teusner as a wine producer.   Kym Teusner and his business partner Mick Page were in a pub sipping a few beers.  They overheard a couple of old growers having a conversation about the low, low prices being paid for their old vine Grenache…to the point they were going to rip out the vines and plant Chardonnay!   Horrified they hatched a rescue plan, scrambling together some cash, the grapes found a new home and the vines stayed in the ground where they belonged and Teusner Wines was born.

  Named after Mick’s first son, Joshua is a blend of Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz.  Made from 100-year-old vines it has a delicious mix of light and dark fresh ripe berried fruits, cured meats and lifted spice on the nose that sets you up for a mouthful of savoury and gamey flavour in the mouth. Kept away from oak and released young it showcases the juicy, spicy, flavoursome red wines of the Barossa.

  2020 The G Grenache, Teusner

Traces of vanilla and earth lie underneath. Silky smooth tannins with a long aftertaste that’s loaded with succulence.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with flavours of raspberry jam, blackberry, and a hint of dark chocolate. The Dog Strangler Mataro has a smooth and elegant finish, with soft tannins and well-balanced acidity. It pairs well with hearty meat dishes like grilled lamb chops or slow-cooked beef stew. Enjoy this premium red wine now or cellar it for 5-10 years to further enhance its complex flavours

  From the winemaker: The wonderful world of wine gives us around 60 or more synonyms for one of our favourite varieties, Mataro, well-known ones such as Mourvedre and Monastrell, lesser-known ones such as Balzac and Exparte. We love the mutts at Teusner (dogs can sometimes outnumber humans!)… it’s somewhat ironic that we chose this particular name for Mataro…Estrangle Chien in France…The Dog Strangler in the Barossa.

  2020 Wallace, Glaetzer

  £2500

Lovely refreshing acidity provides both lift and depth.

  Peak Drinking: A wine to enjoy in its youth that will also develop additional complexity for up to 8—10 years of cellaring.

  Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin’s wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. Judith’s Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol – the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.

  2016 Abednego GSM, Grant Burge

This wine is Abednego to completer the trio with a trio of the Barossa’s finest grape varieties.
