2023 Teusner Joshua Grenache Mataro Shiraz

Juicy, easy going and power packed with a long deeply fruited finish.

An unoaked blend of 56% Grenache, 37% Mataro and 7% Shiraz. The Grenache and Mataro fruit is sourced from old vines at Ebenezer, Williamstown, Seppeltsfield and Tanunda with the Shiraz coming from 20 year old vines. Deep dark red black core with a dark red hue. Enticing dark raspberry, liquorice, dark cherry and plum scents sail out of the glass with ample intensity complimented by some earthy incense and subtle peppered fennel notes. Juicy, easy going and power packed, a rich wave of dark raspberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits swamp the mouth. Earthy incense like characters, fennel and pepper lurk underneath. Velvet smooth tannins with a long deeply fruited finish that’s loaded with succulence.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews….
An unoaked red blend of 56/37/7% grenache/mataro/shiraz that always hits the button for me, bringing back memories of trips to the Barossa and how I was drawn to this easy-drinking style in the early 2000s. Plums, mulberries, charcuterie, spice, dried citrus rind, pressed flowers, crushed stone and earth. Harmonious and savoury, it's just lovely drinking. Drink by 2034.
