Joshua was Teusners very first wine. Named for co-founder Mick Pages first son, Joshua is a blend of mostly old vine Grenache, a good measure of Mataro and a dollop of Shiraz. Unoaked and released young, this wine carries with it the Teusner belief that the best Barossa wines are made when Grenache meets Shiraz meets Mataro.

High Sands Grenache is the flagship of the Yangarra winery. Its made with 100% Grenache and sourced from gnarly old bush vines that were planted in 1946 and situated at the highest altitude in their vineyard. The wine is intense, complex and expressive of type and place.

The Rozas 1er cru Garnacha is, as the name says, classified premier cru by Comando G. Elegant and poised, this wine is a step up in classification and altitude, sitting above the Rozas Villages vineyards close to the ceiling beyond which growing grapes isn't really viable. The brick-red tinge to the colour bring Langhe to mind, Nebbiolo specifically, and there are more hints of that in the glass. The colour and the approachability owe a lot to the greater presence of silt midst the layers of granite. For the 1er cru, the vines are older, the soils are lighter and the altitude of the vineyard is higher than the village showing that signature highwire Sierra de Gredos/Comando G acidity.

The grapes for this wine come from various vineyards in four specified, named villages of the Gard district of Provence, near Avignon. This part of France is also the home of the Tavel and Lirac appellations. Les Becs Fins is 60% Grenache from vines planted in the late 1950s and 40% Syrah from vines planted in the 1980s. All vineyards are farmed organically on pebbly soils. After fermentation the wine matures for 10 months in concrete tanks before bottling without fining or filtration. The winemaking style is hands-off, with as little artifice as possible. The aim is to produce a wine showing pure fruit characters.
