TeusnerBarossa Valley Righteous Mataro
About this product
Barossa Valley identity, Kym Teusner, harnesses the fruit weight and concentration of old vine Mataro with expert hands here with the Righteous Mataro. The fruit was sourced from the 'fruit salad' vineyard planted in the 1930s and consists mostly of Grenache, but if you look closely, every fourth vine is a quirky Mataro vine! Wonderful layers of spice over dense blue and black fruits pave the way for a finish that is utterly long and sublime.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

From a lean site producing low yields of concentrated fruit. Matured 18 months in 30% new French oak hogsheads, then barrel selection. One bottle was corked. Kym Teusner’s juicy, polished, delicious suave is arguably harder to translate in old-vine mataro than anywhere else. That he is able to achieve this consistently is impressive; that he can uphold varietal markers is what sets this apart as one of the Barossa’s greatest single-vineyard mataros. Glossy, ripe berry fruits maintain tang and freshness, set to a backdrop of firm, fine tannins, and just the right amount of bitter high-cocoa dark chocolate French oak. Great length and endurance.
