- TASTING NOTE: "Shiraz from 76/24% Barossa Valley/Eden Valley. Deep magenta/crimson with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blood plum underscored with hints of clove, bay leaf, licorice, dried meats, sage, mace, dark chocolate, graphite and violets. Oak, while there, is never a dominant feature in Torbreck wines; it's always about the fruit and the fruit here is black, spicy and has a long pull, with powdered, granitic tannins and plenty of latent power." 94 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is sourced from vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valley. Aged 18 months in a combination of new (25%), and seasoned French oak barriques.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: First established by Dave Powell in the 1990's Torbreck Vintners was acquired in September 2013 by wealthy Californian entrepreneur and vintner Peter Kight (of Quivira Vineyards). Talented winemaker Ian Hongell joined the team in '16. Shiraz (and other Rhône varieties) is the focus, led by The Laird, RunRig, The Factor and Descendant. Wines are unfined and unfiltered and there is a focus on protecting and spotlighting the old vine vineyards within the Barossa.
