Buy Torbreck Descendant Barossa Valley 2017 – Premium Shiraz-Viognier Blend

If you're searching for a luxury Australian red wine that offers structure, complexity, and longevity, look no further than the Torbreck Descendant Barossa Valley 2017. This critically acclaimed wine is a bold expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, enriched with the aromatic finesse of Viognier.

Crafted by Torbreck Vintners, one of Australia's most prestigious wineries, the Descendant is made from 93% Shiraz and 7% Viognier. The Viognier grapes are co-fermented with Shiraz, a nod to the Northern Rhône’s Côte-Rôtie tradition, which results in heightened aromatics and refined tannic structure.

Tasting Notes: Power Meets Elegance

Rich Aromatics and Deep Complexity

Expect an enticing bouquet of floral perfume and lifted violet notes, supported by layers of dark berry fruit—plum, blackberry, and mulberry dominate the palate. Hints of spice, cedar, and earthiness enhance the complexity.

Full-Bodied with Firm Tannins

The palate is dense and structured, with velvety but gripping tannins—a direct contribution from the Viognier skins. Despite its richness, it maintains balance and poise, suggesting excellent potential for long-term cellaring (10+ years).

Winery	The vision is to Torbreck Vintners, which was founded in 1994, was born out of a desire to create some of the greatest wines in the world by using the incredibly old, dry-grown, Shiraz vineyards that surround the Barossa Valley. Securing these vineyards initially involved share-farming the property, a practice which involves paying the owner a percentage of the market rate for their grapes in return for managing the vineyard. It was this share-farming principle, together with their selection of some of the most highly prized vineyards, that formed the founding pillars of Torbreck’s incredible international success. The vineyards, in particular, enabled them to source some of the very best fruit in the Barossa Valley, which is home to some of the oldest and most precious vines in the world. Provenance is everything to Torbreck. They believe that the Barossa Valley, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175 year history of Silesian and English winemaking, is most exciting place in the world to make wine. There is a European sense of tradition here that means that vines planted in the 1840s – many of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour.
