"Albert Shiraz is named after Kym Teusner's Grandfather, Albert Alfred Teusner… a man admired for his commitment and his persistence. The Albert Shiraz is made from parcels of fruit sourced from a couple of our favourite vineyards… an old block at Ebenezer in the Barossa’s North and another in the Barossa’s Far North at Koonunga.
I reckon the 2021 was one of the best seasons that I have ever seen. Textbook perfect – cold wet winter, cool sunny spring, warm long ripening period with cool nights delivering fruit with great flavour, beautifully balanced acids and tannin. The wines are stylish and full with great poise and structure, and our 2021 Albert Shiraz is a great ambassador for a great vintage.
The old vineyards produce small yields of amazing concentrated fruit flavour, with soft, supple and velvety tannins that set them apart from the younger stuff. Plenty of blackberry, black satsuma plum, black cheery and cassis with great intensity and length. The ‘21 reds all show superb structure and I’m fairly confident in saying this is one of our best Alberts yet."
99/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion (2021 Vintage)
"Barossa Valley shiraz doesn't come much better than this. The growing season and vintage conditions were perfect, but few nailed the opportunity as well as winemakers Kym Teusner and Javier Moll. The silky elegance and balance are coupled with purity and freshness in a manner seldom seen. Drink 2024 – 2046."
95/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, August 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"This is a terrifically concentrated red wine. Sweet, ripe, buoyant berried fruit sweeps confidently through the palate, as much red berried as black, a wealth of chocolate and spearmint characters coming along with it. Overall quality here is outstanding but you’ll certainly need to be mint tolerant; it’s a very minty wine. That proviso aside, we have top tier quality here."
