Teusner FG Righteous Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017 is one of the most extraordinary and sought-after wines in the entire Teusner portfolio — profound, concentrated and built with the extraordinary depth, complexity and old-vine intensity that only the finest single-vineyard Barossa fruit and Kym Teusner’s exceptional winemaking can deliver.

Teusner is one of the Barossa Valley’s most celebrated boutique producers — founded by Kym Teusner and Michael Page in 2003 and built on a philosophy of sourcing the finest old-vine Barossa fruit and crafting wines of extraordinary depth and character with minimal intervention. FG Righteous is Teusner’s most ambitious and personal wine — “FG” standing for “For God”, a wine crafted from the finest old-vine Barossa Shiraz fruit that Kym Teusner believes is simply too good not to bottle separately. This is Teusner at its absolute pinnacle — a collector-level Barossa Shiraz of extraordinary rarity, complexity and ageing potential.

My Wine Man

This is for someone who wants one of the Barossa Valley’s most extraordinary and rarest boutique Shirazes — a wine of genuine collector status, profound complexity and exceptional ageing potential from one of the valley’s most celebrated and respected winemakers.

FG Righteous is produced in tiny quantities from the finest old-vine Barossa Shiraz fruit that Kym Teusner selects each vintage — a wine that represents the absolute pinnacle of what Teusner can achieve and what the Barossa Valley’s ancient vines can deliver. With only 7 bottles available, this is a genuine rarity — a wine that rarely appears on the market and that will reward patience and cellaring for decades to come.

At HK$588, this is exceptional value for a collector-level Barossa Shiraz of this rarity, quality and ageing potential.

In my view, this is one of the greatest Barossa Shirazes available — profound, complex and built to last.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about old-vine Barossa intensity at its most profound and Kym Teusner’s mastery of single-vineyard Shiraz.

Dark blackberry, black cherry, plum and dark chocolate sit at the core, with cedar, fine spice, leather, earth and the extraordinary savoury complexity that only truly ancient Barossa vines and minimal-intervention winemaking can deliver. The palate is full-bodied with extraordinary concentration, fine structured tannins and a finish of remarkable length and persistence that speaks to the quality of the old-vine fruit and the ambition of the winemaking.

The defining feature is the depth — this is Barossa Shiraz of extraordinary concentration and complexity that reveals itself slowly and rewards patience both in the glass and in the cellar, with layer after layer of dark fruit, spice and savoury character that makes it one of the most compelling and complete Shirazes in the store.

Profound, complex and completely compelling.
