A wonderful sunny afternoon in Nuriootpa; the Barossa Valley’s big town, tasting at the production facility with owner Kym Teusner; wines of his name. The foremost drink was the ex-Neopolitan variety fiano Lucius,packed up in a riesling bottle to impress on us it is bright and crisp, which it is (12%). Kym has enjoyed commercial success with his modernistic approach to easy drinkable styles of Barossa reds; the first a 2024 juicy/light unwooded grenache followed by a favourite, 2024 Joshua GMS, grenache, mourvedre, shiraz also unwooded, 65% grenache; then 2023 Avatar, serious GSM, old oak aged, 50% grenache; substantive blend; then a bottle all mataro/mourvedre 2022 Mataro; not a monster but a juicy black sweets style. The finale was an associated single vineyard blend …..MSG 2022 mataro shiraz grenache known as Utopos; clever, classy, it had a hunger for new oak, a rare example in this Teusner tasting.

Fine Vintage Ltd North America hosting wine enthusiasts on their Luxury Wine Tour To Australia; Peter Scudamore-Smith MW visits Warren Randall’s Seppeltsfield Winery to taste an ultimate drop; 1926 vintage or 100 year-old drop of fortified grenache and mataro; concentrated essence of wine made since 1878, every year to commemorate this beginning established by the Prussian-born Silesian Seppelt family. A monumental drink. Check out the galvanised roof of this Centennial Cellar which houses this maturing collection.
