Deep garnet with purple hues, showing a dense, inviting core. The nose offers rich dark berries, black plum, peppery spice, and subtle cedar and earth notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and structured, with ripe fruit, integrated oak, firm tannins, and a long, lingering finish.

Mr Pickwick's Particular Tawny is a mellow and well rounded wine, matured in small oak casks to enrich the bouquet and flavour - this wine has a rich deep colour and palate. Perfect when paired with some flavoursome cheese or simply on its own to finish off a great meal.

Tuck into a Enjoy a Gold-winning, 95pt “bold Barossa Shiraz Durif… " "94% Shiraz, 6% Durif. Big, bold and rich. Explosive red fruit. Deep purple-black, dark to the core. Dark red currant, blackberry compote, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, then liquorice, smoky chocolate, vanilla, charry oak and warm spice. Full and powerful. Dense fruit, real weight. Fine, polished tannin and enough acid to hold it. Shiraz brings the richness and spice, Durif the extra depth. Mocha and smoke from the oak. Long, powerful finish. Built to travel, and it shows.” (Vino Masters Judges).

The now much sought after Righteous range of wines from Kym Teusner was first established in 2005 with the Grenache and this is the latest incarnation of this foreboding Barossa wine.

Maturation was completed in a mix of French and American oak and has resulted in a modern classic Grenache.

Another hearty expression of Barossa's generous fruit from the impressive Teusner stable. Black olives, black pepper and blackberries, there's a dark side to this feisty Shiraz. Concentrated and thick yet artfully constructed with balance and efficiency.
