Teusner MC Sparkling Shiraz 2017

Description

What a wine from leading Barossa winemaker Kym Teusner!  Base wine comprises top shelf old vine single vineyard shiraz south of Tanunda followed by 2 years in French oak and 2 years on lees in bottle to create a fine and pesrsistent bead. More ish dry style and has the structure to age and develop for at least a decade. Forget the cranberry sauce. this is the perfect accompaniment to the roast turkey!

Kym Teusner says about this vintage  “The 2017 is our sixth release of the MC and follows in the footsteps of the
highly lauded 2013 .. Validation of our decision to only pick the best Barossa Shiraz vineyards for this wine, so no surprise we headed to our Albert blocks to source the fruit for this wine. We go easy on the dosage also….aiming for a savoury, pure fruit driven style with fine tannins guiding you to an elegant finish. With extended time on lees the resulting wine, I’m sure you will agree, is delicious drinking and will continue to improve in the cellar over the
medium term.

95 Points and Best of the Best Sparkling Red 2023  Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion, Dave Brookes  “That bright purple spume of bubbles that erupts when you first pour a glass is quite something, huh. Deep notes of plum, cherry and black fruits, dotted with exotic spice, charcuterie, licorice, milk chocolate and earthen tones. It’s like the pure dark fruit envelopes you when you take a sip, with comforting fruit sweetness, an expansive palate shape and a super-plummy, meaty-edged exit. Great drinking.”
