Utopos is a project that came to be by chance, everything just seemed to fall inot place at the right time. Kym Teusner has been making wine in Barossa for some time now cutting his teeth with both Torbreck and Rolph Binder at Veritas before embarking on Teusner wines in the early oughts to some acclaim.

When a friend from the city wanted to invest in a vineyard, Kym not only found him a vineyard, he found the vineyard he coveted most and just could not pass it up. Where Marananga and Greenock collide sits Utopos, planted in the mid 70's to the regions classics on poor soils that Kym crafts distinctly Barossan reds from estate fruit only, capturing depth and intensity with a deft hand and mineral freshness.

Made up from two different lower yielding parcels allowing classic Barossa Cabernet notes of pink peppercorn's, red fruits and eucalypt meld with richer chocolate and dark berried notes from a warmer patch of the property. Gently handled and elevaged in barriques for 18 months this shows precisely why cabernet has long been a feature of the vineyards of this district, perhaps not as famous as its Shiraz counterparts, but equally rewarding in the cellar. 

If drinking young please do give it a good decant for best results.
