Teusner 2005 Avatar Red (Barossa Valley)
- $40
An oak-aged blend of Grenache (55%), Shiraz (25%) and Mataro (20%), this is a lush, black-cherry-scented wine framed by cedary notes. The mouthfeel is pillowy-soft and caressing yet not devoid of structure, while a complex mélange of spices adds depth and nuance. Drink now–2012.

Teusner 2005 Albert Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $60
Although it’s not indicated on the front label, this is 100% Shiraz, sourced from 60-year-old vines in the Ebenezer district and 90-year-old vines near Gomersal. It’s Teusner’s best wine, loaded with spice and savory notes that perfectly highlight the rich blackberry fruit. Not jammy or overblown, it has enough structure to suggest a drinking window from 2010–2020.

Teusner 2006 Joshua Red (Barossa Valley)
- $30
A blend of 65% Grenache with the rest Mataro (Mourvèdre) and Shiraz, this sees no oak, so the fruit’s bold character shines. Black cherries lead the way, accented by a hint of almond. The texture is smooth; there’s a sense of delicacy here, despite the authoritative flavors. Drink now–2010.

Teusner 2005 The Riebke Ebenezer Road Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $25
From the northern section of Barossa Valley off relatively young vines, this is dark-fruited, filled with scents and flavors of cola, spice, loam, blackberries and plums. Turns a bit crisp on the finish. Drink 2008–2015.
