Tasting Notes for Torbreck Descendant 2019

Intense Aromatics and Vibrant Palate

On the nose, this premium Barossa red offers lifted floral and perfumed notes, courtesy of co-fermented Viognier, intertwined with dark, lush fruit aromas of plum, blackberry, and mulberry. The palate is deeply concentrated, showing dark blood-red hues and a rich, textural complexity.

Structure and Cellaring Potential

The inclusion of Viognier skins adds extra tannin grip and firm structure, giving this wine both depth and ageing potential. The balance between fruit, tannin, and oak is remarkable—making it ideal for long-term cellaring or special-occasion drinking.

Winery	The vision is Torbreck Vintners, founded in 1994 and born out of a desire to create some of the greatest wines in the world by using the ancient, dry-grown Shiraz vineyards surrounding the Barossa Valley. Securing these vineyards initially involved share-farming the property. This practice involves paying the owner a percentage of the market rate for their grapes in return for managing the vineyard. This share-farming principle and their selection of some of the most highly prized vineyards 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, home to some of the world's oldest and most precious vines. Provenance is everything to Torbreck. They believe that the Barossa Valley, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175-year Silesian and English winemaking history, is the most exciting place in the world to make wine. A European sense of tradition here means that vines planted in the 1840s – many Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour.
