Kym Teusner, whose interest in wine developed during an eight-year stint managing Ayers House function centre, graduated from Adelaide University's oenology course in 2001. He went on to gain an assistant winemaking position at Torbreck, during which time Teusner & Page Wines was born, before joining Rolf Binder Wines where he developed his capacity to create wines of individuality and distinction whether working on small, medium or large scale production. After leaving Rolf Binder Wines to focus on and expand the Teusner operation, success rapidly followed, culminating in Kym winning the Gourmet Traveller 2007 Young Winemaker of the Year award.
It is Kym’s steadfast belief that great wines can only truly be derived from great vineyards, and the 2009 fruit from the Avon Brae estate has provided him with outstanding material to begin his association with Eden Hall Wines. Kym has consistently spoken of the 2009 Eden Hall reds, the Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, as possessing all of the characteristics needed to create something special. As with any wine made by Kym Teusner, they already display intensity, varietal character and terroir, balance, structure and spectacular fruit weight across the palate. They promise much (to be released in mid-2011) and already deliver plenty, just like Kym Teusner himself.
