2020 The Forebear, Torbreck, Barossa Valley
New release
A wine of poise and nobility from some of the world’s oldest living Shiraz vines. The complex bouquet is dominated by red berry fruits like mulberry, red cherry, and cassis, beautifully complemented by savory notes of wild thyme, garrigue, graphite, and peppercorns. On the palate, a wonderful textural mouthfeel is delivered by enveloping soft, round tannins and a cleansing acidity. This balance harmonizes the wine's modern Barossa elegance with the powerful yield from extremely low-yielding vines. It stands as a tribute to its ancestors and their 19th-century vision for grape growing and dry farming.
