Teusner The Riebke Shiraz 2021, Barossa Valley, AUD $30
Teusner have been making top value, archetypal Barossa wines for around two decades. They always display a true sense of place, delivering an opulence of flavour, but also balance and real drinkability. This wine is no exception: it pulls no punches and provides great bang for the bucks.
Inky in appearance, opaque. Dark, brooding aromas of plum, mulberry, chocolate, liqueured cherry and sweet spice. Powerful, darkly fruited and opulent in flavour. There’s real weight and force of fruit, but the savoury, drying tannins and bright acidity do a sterling job in maintaining balance and cut. (Screwcap)
