TEUSNER BIG JIM SHIRAZ 750ML | 14.5%ALC

VINTAGE
A triumphant return to ‘normality’ emerged in the wake of two scorching, parched, and low-yield vintages. The 2021 growing season commenced with moderate winter rains, complemented by refreshing spring showers. As late spring and early summer temperatures soared, vine growth surged, before easing for a dry and temperate transition into autumn. These exceptional vintage circumstances, fostering steady ripening and the development of luscious, full-bodied flavours, coincided with Kym’s remarkable 20th year at the helm of Teusner Wines.

TASTING
Seasons on and the Big Jim continues to impress, packed with rich berry flavours and well balanced, classy oak. This wine is black in the glass and the rich Shiraz flavours are super concentrated courtesy of the low yields in the vineyard. 18 months ageing in a mix of 50% new French hogsheads and 50% seasoned oak has lifted the spice notes to a new level and given the wine fine structure.
