 Kym Teusner - "Young Wine Maker of the Year"
9 October 2007 This week’s edition of the East End Electronic features one of the most talked about wineries of late... “A certain star in the making” Matthew Jukes (UK), Best Australian Wines 2006 “Extraordinary value… A star in the making” Ken Gargett, Courier Mail “Teusner’s wines also epitomize the new wave style… ultra luscious fruit richness and black cherry polish, is a world away from the over-oaked and ponderous Barossa reds of the past.” Max Allen, Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine Hot after wining the Gourmet Traveller ‘Young Wine Maker of the Year’ last week, plus all the recent reviews, Kym Teusner along with business partner Michael Page, are on a winning streak of late and we are backing them all the way. We have been huge fans of Teusner Wines for quite a while, and with the current releases, they have taken Barossa greatness to another level.  Teusner Wines came into being late in 2001 when Kym Teusner witnessed a conversation discussing the viability of an old Grenache vineyard, planted in the Northern Barossa Valley. The low yields and low prices being paid by the ‘Big Boys’ meant that the vineyard was running at a loss and was facing certain destruction! Kym was loath to hear this and approached his brother in law, now business partner, to see if they could scratch together enough cash to keep these gnarled old vines in the ground. In that first year they raised enough capital for only about a quarter of the fruit from that vineyard, but this was enough for the Riebke brothers to stall their plans for these precious old vines. They were aware of a few other old blocks that fruit could be sourced from, if required, and made the first release with 165 cases of 2002 Joshua. In addition to this about 8 hogsheads of Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz was put aside, destined to be released around 24 months later as Avatar, the rest is as they say, “History”. There are now five wines in the line up, and a huge fan base is starting to gather. The reviews of the latest releases show exactly why this label is no longer “one to watch”, but now on the tip of every ones tongue. Associated Products
