2022 The Factor, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

2022 The Factor, Torbreck, Barossa Valley

New release

Hailing predominantly from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions of the Barossa, The Factor is a complex, luxuriously dense, and alluring wine. It is very expressive, offering lifted black fruits such as satsuma plum, blackberry compote, and maraschino cherry. Secondary notes include vanilla, dark cocoa, black tea, and espresso. Mineral components of Barossa Ironstone, dried earth, and eucalyptus further highlight its character. This wine's voluptuous texture envelops the mouth with soft yet dense tannins and a mouth-filling viscosity. The flavors linger, and cleansing acidity polishes the palate's gorgeous length and depth. Harmonious and well-integrated oak maturation adds to its complexity upon release. A modern take on a Barossa classic, this wine is built to age for 20+ years.

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.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
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.

Ready: 2024 - 2040
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.

Ready: 2025 - 2045
