2013 Teusner The Riebke Shiraz 1.5 Litre
95 Points James Halliday — Teusner's Cult Barossa Shiraz in Magnum
The 2013 Teusner The Riebke Shiraz 1.5 Litre is a magnum of one of Teusner's most celebrated single-vineyard Shiraz expressions — now 12 years in bottle and drinking superbly.
My Wine Man on Teusner
Kym Teusner is one of the Barossa's most celebrated boutique winemakers. The Riebke is one of Teusner's signature single-vineyard Shiraz expressions, sourced from old-vine Barossa fruit. In magnum format, the wine evolves more gracefully and offers serious celebration credentials.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, leather, dried herbs and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish. 95 Points — James Halliday.
Style & Drinking Window
Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now in magnum format. Decant 1–2 hours. Drink through 2033.
Food Pairing
A 95-point Barossa magnum deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for The Riebke's dark plum, leather and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
