About this wine
UTOPOS Shiraz, Barossa Valley
Utopos is a project by Kym Teusner (Teusner wines) and Neil Panuja, making distinctly Barossan wines out of their vineyard. It is named ‘Utopos’ in reference to the root word of Utopia, indicating just how special this vineyard is. The Shiraz is a blend or 90% Shiraz and 10% Mararo (from vines planted between 1974 and 2000), aged in 40% new French oak hogsheads for 24 months. The result is an incredibly concentrated, deep wine, luscious and smooth on the palate, with brilliant balance and length.

Dave Brookes
With 6% mataro, destemmed with some whole berries and aged in French oak hogsheads (40% new) for 2 years. Deep red purple in the glass, with a perfumed cascade of satsuma plum and macerated blackberry characters, underscored by hints of baking spice, licorice, dark chocolate, vanilla and cedar. The balance is impeccable, with great fruit purity and detail throughout its length; the classy, cedary cut of French oak perhaps a little more noticeable on the palate. Deep, resonant and long, with über-ripe tannins and a sense of brightness to its form.

Yes it’s heavy with smoky-vanillin oak and it’s a bit boozy too but the fruit is sweet and rich, the tannin is extremely well managed and the finish is sustained. In short what this wine does is deliver a mountain of flavour in a well-controlled manner. Plum, graphite, chocolate, liquorice and clove flavours flood the mouth in seriously impressive fashion. The smell of this. The intensity. Give it time to mellow, sure, but this delivers a lot.

A very rich and ripe nose of mulberries, blackberries, dark chocolate, baking spices and plums, as well as currants and cedar. The palate has a very rich and plush feel with mouth-filling, ripe plum and blackberry flavors. Spiced pudding-like finish. Drink over the next seven years.
