2024 Teusner Salsa Rose 12 Pack

To afford our Salsa Rosé even more Barossan authenticity,
we couldn’t help ourselves but start with Mataro, then add
a hearty splash of Grenache in to boot. These quintessential
Barossan varietals blend seamlessly to contribute fruit, spice
and flavour in spades and are ideal for crafting quality Rosé.
VINTAGE
The relatively dry winter and early spring contrasted the
consistent rain events that ensued prior to Christmas. This
paved the way for a generally cooler prelude to vintage and
some inconsistent flowering conditions that impacted fruit
set. Early indications pointed towards a late vintage, but
with vines carrying a light crop and ideallic ripening
conditions prevailing, we witnessed rapid ripening in some
blocks. In the absence of any significant heat spikes, the
warm and dry weather provided a wonderful backdrop for
excellent fruit quality.
TASTING
The Mataro is sourced from the dry, sandy soils of Ebenezer,
in the northwest of the Barossa Valley. From there the
plush bunches of Mataro and Grenache were held on skins
for 2 hours before being gently pressed off to tank for
ferment with a small portion transferred to seasoned French
oak Puncheons to finish ferment on fine lees.
A blend of Mataro 74% & Grenache 26%, the Salsa is primed
and ready to dance across your lips with fresh red forest
berry fruits ...raspberries and hawthorn and an intriguing
spice line which includes star anise with hints of pepper and
cardamom. Crunchy red fruits flow across the palate, held in
check by balanced acidity and kept long and dry with chalky
fine phenolics.
