Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

A top Quaffer! Bright crimson mauve colour with mauve purple hue. Medium body. The nose displays impressive lifted aromatics with aromas of raspberry spice cherry and liquorice. The palate is spicy with flavours of licorice raspberry and red jubes. Delicious stuff.

(Certified Organic) (Langhorne Creek SA)'This wine was vintaged from Grenache Shiraz and Viognier grapes grown in the Temple Bruer vineyard and is our fourth vintage of this Rhone blend.Raspberry blackberry and apricot flavours with a dash of vanilla make a captivating fruit driven wine. Fruit flavour together with fine light tannins make this wine a perfect partner for antipasto pasta dishes and cheese platters.'Temple Bruer

(Rhone Valley France) Nice and meaty with firm loose knit grainy tannins and balanced acidity. Finishes with a little grip and acid and meaty red berry flavours. A wise choice for a lovely weekday wine. Drink : 2007-2014' 90 points Gary Walsh

(Barossa SA)Sourced from old vine Barossa material this shows classic earthy spicy fruit flavours on a warm medium bodied palate that finishes with some fine tannins.Perhaps the perfect pizza wine but one that could do with a lay down in the cellar first.

(Barossa SA)'A Provencal look-alike made from 41% Grenache 40% Shiraz and 19% Mourvedre aged 12 months in old French oak reveals an attractive peppery herbal sweet cherry and raspberry scented bouquet with plenty of spice and cedar. Ripe opulent and full bodied 90/100 Robert Parker Jnr

(Barossa SA)'Perhaps the best Teusner Release yet this is a great example of the Australian variation of the southern Rhone blend of grenache shiraz and Mataro (mourvedre). Oak plays second fiddle to vibrant spicy and savoury fruit while a firm but cultivated extract of tannin provides mouthfeel and support. You either drink it young and vibrant or wait a few years for it to develop earthy chocolatey and cigarboxy complexity.'Jeremy Oliver'Joshuas affable big brother Avatar is the same three way marriage of grenache mataro and shiraz but released a year older after a spell in seasoned oak. Teusner has a keen eye for this style and he ventures that this 05 Avatar is the best wine he has released to date. Just over half of the blend is grenache and there is plenty of fragrance backed by blackberry and plum fruits. The palate is deep and concentrated with precise ripeness and curvaceous tannins honed in barrel. The wine has an effortless sense of balance mataro fusing shiraz and grenache together already drinking superbly it will improve for the next five to eight years.'Nick Stock The Adelaide Review 'Liquidised raspberry bullets concentrated until the smells are giddying and flavour depth almost endless from 55 percent grenache 25 percent mataro and 20 percent shiraz. It is balanced in the structurals full of sexy red fruits just gorgeous to drink. Also grab 2006 The Riebke a youthful marvel at 20 dollars. Tony Love
