Torbreck

Torbreck's classic and traditional Barossa Shiraz. Very dark fruit profile with soy, coffee, dark chocolate and star anise. This has 2 years in 50% new French oak barriques. This drought vintage in particular is textural and grippy on the palate. This has an earthy, iron-rich feel to it, almost Hermitage-esque.

This vintage The Struie contains 79% fruit from Barossa and 21% fruit from the Eden Valley. There's lots of lifted aromas of Blueberry, mulberry, blackberry and violet that leap from the glass and meld effortlessly with graphite, sandalwood and dark chocolate. On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with black and blue fruits and soft round tannins. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel. A true pleasure.

RunRig has a fragrant, soft profile, with fine tannins and an ethereal poise, despite some serious power and concentration. This is all grown on the western ridge of the Barossa Valley. It's a blend of six vineyards, including what is likely the oldest Shiraz in the world. There's 25km between the vineyard sites, creating plenty of complexity in the fruit. It finishes saline and mineral, long and fresh.

Up to 20 individual ferments go together to create The Steading, Torbreck's GSM. The wine goes into large foudres for maturation. This is a classic GSM, with inky, layered black berry fruits and kirsch. Powerful and concentrated old vine character.
