Zeppelin Amelie Eden Valley Shiraz 2009

Eden Valley

Kym Teusner is an enthusiastic winemaker. He was moved by the vine pullouts of old Barossa vineyards to take an interest in restoring destitute but precious sites which today produce some of the finest fruit. Amelie is sourced from a single, eighty years old Eden Valley property owned by the Sons of Eden, a great vineyard for yielding harvests of Shiraz displaying excellent colour, ripe tannins and generous flavour. Traditional vinification techniques and a hands off philosophy are employed to craft wines that are full of character and charm.

Zeppelin was created by Artisan of the Barossa winemakers Corey Ryan and Kym Teusner. Proud of the contribution which German settlers made to the young colony of South Australia, the brand was named in honour of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a brave and progressive German who thought really big. A very simplistic approach to winemaking however, means that the elegance of Eden Valley Shiraz is preserved in the final wine. Fruit is vinified in open fermenters, pumped over by hand and treated to a good old fashioned basket press. Following maturation in a selection of older oak barrels to soften the tannins while retaining vibrant fruit character, Amelie is bottled without any fining or filtration. Alcohol 14.0%


Deep dark purple red in colour. Amelie flaunts a nose of rich dark fruit, vanilla blossom and delicate spice notes enhanced by an equally rich, full bodied palate of dark red fruits. Concentrated cassis, and raspberry flavours are balanced by soft, elegant tannins and fine oak finish.

They take an interest in restoring old sites with a view to crafting small batches of outstanding single vineyard wines. Ferdinand is sourced from a precious site at Greenock where the vines are planted to rich sand over clay soils at altitudes of 245 metres. Shiraz is vinified in traditional open top fermenters and pumped over twice daily by hand, followed by a good old fashioned basket press and completion of ferments in barrel. Batches are transferred to an equal balance of new and seasoned French oak for thirty months maturation before bottling without any fining or filtration.


A deeply coloured wine. Nose displays black fruits, dark chocolate and brazil nuts over a hint of smoky oak. The palate is rich and textural, packed with dark, dark fruit, beautifully fresh and the oak pleasantly subdued. Towards the finish, earth complexity and fine tannins take over to leave a lasting impression.

A highly traditional, minimalist approach to winemaking preserves the character of the good vineyard fruit and expression of terroir. Harvests of intensely flavoured Shiraz grapes are treated to an extended maceration, open fermentations, manual pumpovers and basket pressing, followed by maturation in a selection of predominantly older French oak barrels for a year. Big Bertha remains unfined and is bottled with minimal sulphur addition to maximise fruit expression.

Deep red in colour. Expansive nose of fragrant dark cherries and fruit, flowers, pepper and meats. The palate is a showcase of pure unforced Barossa Shiraz, medium to full bodied with dark berry flavours, a seductive fruit sweetness and soft savoury tannins. Offering excellent freshness and superb length, the charming and characterful, fruit driven Bertha is immensely satisfying immediately upon release.

The conspicuously low yields of some great old Barossa vineyards makes their fruit unviable for commercial brands. Only the most skilled and knowledgeable small batch winemakers have the dedication to handle such precious parcels of old vines fruit. Shiraz is picked off a single site in the Angaston foothills, planted to sand over clay soils, growing at an elevation of 275 metres. Fruit is crushed into traditional open top fermenters and treated to a course of manual pumpovers, twice daily throughout the vinification. Upon completion, batches are basket pressed and racked into a selection of seasoned oak barrels for an extended term of twelve to eighteen months, to be bottled without fining or filtration.


Dark crimson colour. Aromas of intense and brightly perfumed primary red fruits dominate the nose, a herbaceous edge adding complexity. Plenty of richness on the palate, supple flavours of cherry and raspberry supported by hints of chocolate, balanced acidity and silky tannins. A simply brilliant construct of approachable, single vineyard Barossa Shiraz.
