WebsiteDuring my week in the Barossa, I started following and being followed by a lot of Barossa wineries, businesses and restaurants on Twitter - one of those being Teusner Wines. They weren't on our itinerary, but when I drove past the winery one day, I recognised their logo from their Twitter account and sent them a howdy message. They promptly replied and invited us to pop in and see them!
Teusner is a small, relatively new winery (established in 2001), who produce mainly red wines (shiraz, grenache, mataro etc.), as well as a chardonnay, a sauvignon blanc and a rose. Mmm... rose.
During a (rare) bit of free time on the trip, we popped into Teusner and met the super-nice David Brookes, (AKA Brookesy) brand manager and head-twitterer at the winery. He introduced us to the Teusner dog (see above!), and took us through a tasting of the wines...
As I was driving that day, I spat the wine out rather than drinking it - in the top photo you can see my (not-so-elegant) spitting technique, haha. Quite daring, I know, to spit red wine whilst wearing a white shirt, but luckily it didn't get any stains. Phew!
Our favourite was the Riebke Shiraz, and we were generously given a bottle to take home - thanks Brookesy!
We then went to taste some wine straight from the barrel...

We also got to try some freshly pressed grape juice: David just stuck a cup under the running juice and handed it to us - sweet and refreshing!
Sarah and Sandra visited Teusner Winery as guests, with thanks to David Brookes for the invitation.
