Teusner Righteous FG Shiraz 2012
Teusner Righteous FG Shiraz is the iconic premium Barossa Valley red wine made by Kym Teusner. The fruit for this wine is sourced from a single, dry vineyard, planted during the 1950's. The grapes are grown on weather-beaten old vines, that endure year after year, in tough soils and produce tiny crops of small berries- just one tonne per acre, which are richly concentrated in flavour.
The grapes were carefully selected and then received the "Rolls Royce" treatment all the way! Fermentation took place in open vats with twice daily pump-overs, increasing the contact between the skins and the juice, extracting both flavours and colour, resulting in this intense, concentrated style. Following the fermentation, the wine was aged in new oak barrels for a period of 18 months.
Tremendous intensity and concentration are behind this top cuvee from Teusner.
Kym Teusner holds nothing back from this high scoring, powerful Shiraz. This
benchmark style is what makes Barossa famous.
