My Wine Man on Teusner

Kym Teusner is one of the Barossa's most celebrated boutique winemakers. Big Jim is Teusner's flagship Shiraz, named for one of the Barossa's most respected old-vine growers. In magnum format, this wine ages more gracefully and makes a celebration centrepiece.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with developing complexity. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and a touch of clove. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking magnificently now in magnum format. Decant 1–2 hours. Drink through 2032.

Food Pairing

An aged 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 Big Jim's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
