Teusner Independent Shiraz Mataro 2022 from Kym Teusner blasts from Barossa Valley’s ancient bush vines in Ebenezer, Williamstown, Koonunga and Tanunda, a gutsy 51/49 Shiraz-Mataro blend pulsing with dark fruit power, savoury spice and classic Barossa swagger that demands a decant and your full attention.

Blackberry, dark plum, cherry and black olive aromas surge with dried herbs, anise, warm spice, earth and roast meats – bold yet refined. The Teusner Independent Shiraz Mataro 2022 palate delivers plush dark fruits, meaty savouriness, chewy chalky tannins, lively acidity and a long, spicy tail that hooks you for another glass instantly.

Fire this ripper with barbecued ribs, lamb souvlaki, beef curry, slow-cooked brisket or aged cheddar – its layered depth turns winter feasts legendary. Stock the 2022 Independent Barossa Shiraz Mataro now; it’s independent thinking in a bottle, screaming value and cellar potential.
