Greg Hughes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Teusner's Riebke wine series all come from a family-run winery, in the Ebenezer district (a spot coveted for its concentrated fruit coming from very old vines). The Riebke family have run this winery for six generations. Working with special contract growers are how many companies discover some of their mpst interesting expressions of the land they grow from.
This wine is gushing with pure fruit. The colour in the glass is a pretty, dark cherry colour.
Aromatics are peppery and spicy, but alsp full of inviting cassis and currant. Slightly medicinal and floral too.
The flavours have fantastic acidity, which keeps things nice and fresh in spite of the elevated alcohol. Plum, currant replays, and some nice vanilla, and chocolate.
Pair this with braised meats or pork-belly. Should cellar well for 5+ too!




Natalie's Review

Teusner The Riebke Shiraz 2015, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: Full-bodied Australian red wine made from the country's classic Shiraz grape. This blockbuster offers tart black fruit and toasty oak on the nose with a good grip on the palate. Barossa is Australia's heartland for Shiraz. This one offers great complexity and a long finish. Pair with prime rib. Drink: 2018-2022. 48470 14.60% XD 750 mL  $23.95 Score: 92/100. March 1, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine. Luscious Lamb Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
