Teusner Righteous Mataro is a complex and bold wine that boasts abundant flavors and aromas. It is made from 100% Mataro grapes, a varietal that has its origins in Spain, but is now widely grown in the Barossa Valley region of Australia. The wine delivers luscious dark berry aromas, complemented by hints of spice and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and displays black cherry, blueberry and plum flavors with a hint of star anise. The tannins are firm yet soft, providing a satisfying finish. This wine is best enjoyed with a hearty meat dish or aged cheese.

Tasting Notes

The Righteous wines are crafted from the best single parcels, only released in carefully selected vintages - this wine is a pure and outstanding example of Barossa Mataro. Bold, rich and spicy, this wine displays layers of complex savoury fruits on the nose and considerable depth. Ripe berry notes and fruit derived spice elements flow through to the wonderfully fine and long palate with dark chocolate highlights and hints of well integrated French Oak. Fine, poised and delicious.

About the Winery

Teusner Wines, the Australian wine brand, was established in the year 2001 by Kym Teusner and Mick Page. It would be surprising for you to know that the seed for this wine brand was sown when the duo heard a casual discussion in the local bar about the quality of the grapes grown in the high-quality Barossa wine area of Australia. The best fruits from the Barossa vineyards are used for making these vines. Therefore, at Teusner, ultimate respect is given to the local wine growers. Therefore, the wines created at Teusner reflect the wonderful terroirs of the Barossa region.

In the year 2002, Teusner released its first set of wine with 162 cases of the Joshua wine range. In the next two years, the brand also released other wines from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz cultivated in selected lots in Barossa. The success and popularity of the Teusner wines are mainly due to the strong, interpersonal relationship that the owners share with the winegrowers.

In the year 2001, the brothers Kym Teusner and Mick Page paid a huge sum for safeguarding the low-yielding Grenache vines. Even today, the brothers pay a huge sum to the winegrowers to keep them happy and help them cultivate fruits of the highest quality. The fruits cultivated in Barossa and Eden Valleys are used to make Teusner wines.

Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro, Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, a few GSM blends (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre blends) and Petit Syrah (also known as Durif) are some of the varietals used for making the wines under this label. Shiraz is the most used varietal, as close to 42% of the wines are made using this. At this company, a lot of importance is given to the term, commitment. According to Teusner’s own words, the most distinct thing about his wines was the commitment that his company shows to the people who support him.
