Meet Winemaker :Kym Teusner (Teusner Wines)
When: From 5pm Friday September 20th
Where:The Place that stocks only the best (vine tasting bench)...... It's taken a while but finally it's going to happen this guy is an absolute genius so come along!
The Teusner story begins in 2001 when Kym was a party to a conversation between 5th generation grape grower Steve Riebke and his brother Leon. They were lamenting over the fact that their 90 year old Grenache vineyard was due for destruction due to the low grape prices being paid by the big companies.
Kym Teusner & Michael Page hatched a plan, scratched together some money, a vineyard was saved and a winery was born with the first release of Teusner Joshua in 2002.
Today, Teusner still focuses on the ancient vines which make the Barossa so unique. Vineyards up to 130 years of age are sourced from across the Barossa....from Williamstown in the South to Ebenezer in the North..... Greenock in the West to Vine Vale in the East....taking full advantage of the diverse range of terroirs the Barossa has to offer.
After finishing his wine-making studies at the University of Adelaide, Kym Teusner spent time working at several high profile Barossa wineries and completing vintages in France’s Rhone Valley before the desire to create his own wines lead him to form Teusner.
