About The Wine
The Avatar blend is the older, bigger sibling to the juicy Joshua red from Teusner, a Grenache Mataro Shiraz blend that sees time in old oak for a year.
The oak is but a bit player in the Avatar though, as this wine is all about the dark savoury black fruits combining to create a beautifully defined and layered Barossa red, made from old vine fruit sourced from Teusner's partner growers.
A tremendous wine for the cellar, but it has the poise and integration to be very enjoyable straight off the bat.
About Teusner
Teusner is the story of old vines, long-standing quality Barossa grape-growers, and two guys called Kym Teusner and Mick Page.
Kym and Mick established Teusner in 2001, seeking to help save and maintain many of the Barossa's old vine resources that were under pressure to be uprooted and replaced by something more profitable.
Twenty-odd years later this grower-winemaker partnership continues to, er, bear fruit. The always interesting and often expanding Teusner range offers awesome value across the board but it is perhaps in the Avatar and Albert wines, their 'mid-range' reds, where the greatest quality for price can be found.
