2017 Teusner FG Righteous Shiraz
Teusner FG Righteous — One of the Most Sought-After Wines in the Teusner Portfolio
Teusner FG Righteous Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017 is one of the most extraordinary and sought-after wines in the entire Teusner portfolio — profound, layered and built with the obsessive attention to old-vine fruit that defines everything Teusner produces.
My Wine Man on Teusner
Kym Teusner is one of the Barossa's most celebrated boutique winemakers. FG Righteous is Teusner's flagship — a single-vineyard Shiraz sourced from one of the Barossa's most remarkable old-vine sites, made in tiny quantities and allocated almost entirely through the winery's mailing list.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather, dried herbs and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with extraordinary depth, ripe velvety tannins and a long, layered finish.
Style & Drinking Window
Full-bodied with extraordinary depth. Drinking superbly now at 8 years of age and built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 1–2 hours.
Food Pairing
A cult Barossa Shiraz of this depth demands 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 FG Righteous's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine tannins.
