Description

UTOPOS shiraz

The root word for Utopia, a good and perfect place

The seemingly unobtainable obtained.
Straddling the bounds of Marananga and Greenock.

A Barossa Utopia

BY WINEMAKER KYM TEUSNER. (of Teusner wines)

Distinctly Barossan with the depth and concentration that you expect from Marananga and Greenock but have that site driven savoury balance .

Opulent, rich, concentrated. LUXURIOUS…..

Spicy dark compote fruits on the nose

Muscular structure, the palate is flooded with plush, exotic, sweet ripe black and blue fruit freshened up on the way through with just enough sweet tangy tartness to provide optimal balance. Sensational firm tannins provide a unique and memorable finish.

2021 Vintage

The wine shows a beautiful spice lead on the nose, with black fruits following. The key to the character of this wine is the stunningly fresh acidity, making the wine so pure, bright and fresh on the palate. It’s definitely a handsomely proportioned wine, abundant in flavour concentration, but the tannins and acid bring structure and freshness to the pure fruit that drives down the length of the palate.

This will really hit the mark as a 10 year old, and kick on for another decade after that.

Decant for a couple of hours. Keep for 15+ years
