Teusner Salsa Rosé 2015

Description

Salsa is a Spanish word meaning sauce – it must be winemaker Kym Teusner’s sauce!   Made because of his particular aversion to many Aussie roses (often sweet and acidified to create zing!).   A blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mataro and 10% Carignan grown specifically for rose – that is grapes picked early with plenty of natural acidity and freshness.   Made in the dry savoury style…. it has plenty of punch! This beautiful, refreshing wine is the ultimate for lunch.

93 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front “Grenache and Mataro. Couple of days on skins then run into old oak. I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination, but this seems to be turning into a drier, more ‘serious’ style.  Has a touch of orange to the colour, which is nice. Spicy, earth and dried herbs, red fruited with a little perfume. It’s fleshy and flavoursome, but doesn’t go overboard on the flavour. Acidity feels settled, and the red fruits and spice carry long on a gently dusty finish. Lovely wine. Artfully done.”
