2019 Descendant, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

2019 Descendant, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

The Descendant vineyard was planted in 1994 with clones taken from the vineyard that produces RunRig. There are 8 rows of Viognier, 4 at the bottom of the slope and 4 mid-slope. They pick together, part-press the Viognier and add the resulting skin-heavy portion to the Shiraz ferment. This is the most "Cote Rotie" of Torbreck's range, with opulent, dark fruits, black olives, and a long saline finish. Licquorice and sweet spices come through on the palate and the finish is seriously long.

2021 Cuvée Juveniles, Torbreck, Barossa Valley Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

This Rhone blend now contains some Counoise to create bright acidity, and Carignan, which adds soft black fruit character. This has beautiful aromatic black fruit, and a lifted herbal complexity. This wine is all about softness and generosity, not structure. There's a velvet texture and bright, ripe fruit on the finish.

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.

2020 The Steading, Torbreck, Barossa Valley Red | Still | 15%

The high proportion of Grenache in this vintage, at 65%, gives a beautiful fresh red fruit character, but there are plenty of darker fruits, richness and broad tannins from the Shiraz and Mataro. Delicious now with a long juicy finish, this is a great buy.
