Named in tribute to Kym Teusner's father-in-law, Jim Lehmann — a larger-than-life Barossa identity — this is a wine of genuine warmth, generosity, and Barossa character that reflects the man it honours. Despite the name, Big Jim is not a brute: it is a wine of real refinement and polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Wine Man on Teusner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeusner was founded by Kym Teusner and Michael Page in 2003, built on a philosophy of sourcing the finest old-vine Barossa fruit and crafting wines of extraordinary depth and complexity with minimal intervention. Kym Teusner is one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed winemakers in the Barossa — a producer who understands old-vine fruit at a deep level and lets it speak with precision and control. Big Jim is the estate's most generous expression: powerful and full-bodied, but always controlled and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlueberry, blackberry, and dark plum at the core, with black pepper, clove, anise, subtle floral notes, and the characteristic savoury complexity that defines great Barossa Shiraz. The palate is full-bodied with fine, tightly woven tannins and a long, complex finish. The defining feature is the refinement — extraordinary concentration that never loses its polish, with structured elegance and layered complexity that rewards both immediate drinking and extended cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull-bodied with fine, tightly woven tannins and fresh acidity providing structure, polish, and a long, complex finish.
