After overhearing a couple of grape growers, in their local pub, who were going to be ripping out their 85 year old Grenache vines Kym Teusner and Mick Page offered them four times what they were going to be paid by the ‘big guys’ for the crop. Over the years, Kym and Mick have worked with a number of growers to gain access to a range of old vines in the Barossa Valley. The one thing that hasn’t changed is Kym, Mick and their passion to make the absolute best of the old Barossa Valley vineyards wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wonderful world of wine gives us around 60 or more synonyms for one of our favourite varieties, Mataro, well-known ones such as Mourvedre and Monastrell, lesser known ones such as Balzac and Exparte. We love the mutts at Teusner (dogs can sometimes out-number humans!)… it’s somewhat ironic then that we chose this particular name for Mataro…\u003cem\u003eEstrangle \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eChien \u003c\/em\u003ein France \u003cem\u003e…The Dog Strangler\u003c\/em\u003e in the Barossa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere’s plenty of dark plum, mulberry fruits and five spice character on this Dog’s nose.
