2003 RunRig, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

2003 RunRig, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

"The estate’s flagship cuvee is the virtually perfect 2003 Run Rig. Made from 8 separate Barossa vineyards (ranging in age from 94 to 158 years), it is primarily Shiraz with 4-5% co-fermented Viognier included in the blend. The wine was aged in French oak of which 60% is new. The sensational, inky/purple-tinged 2003 exhibits a stunningly sweet nose of blackberries, blueberries, litchi nuts, smoked meats, and a hint of apricots. Elegant yet super-powerful, rich, concentrated, and long, it is a tour de force in winemaking as well as a modern classic example of Barossa Shiraz. It should drink well for 20-25 years. " 99 points, RObert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2019 The Factor, Torbreck, Barossa Valley Red | Still | 15%

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.

2023 The Steading, Torbreck, Barossa Valley Red | Still | 14%

Intensely lifted aromas of red cherry, red plum, and redcurrant. Complex notes of five-spice, fennel seed, star anise, and a discernible meaty character add further intrigue. The palate mirrors the aromatic profile, with red fruits cascading over soft, chalky tannins and a dense mouthfeel. Textural savoury notes and fine acidity contribute to the wine's length and balanced finish.

2019 RunRig, Torbreck, Barossa Valley Red | Still | 15%

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.
