Buy Torbreck Runrig 2019 Shiraz – Barossa Valley Icon Wine
Premium Australian Shiraz with Viognier – Power, Elegance, and Exceptional Ageing Potential
Discover Torbreck Runrig 2019 – A Flagship Barossa Valley Red Wine
Experience the Torbreck Runrig 2019, an iconic Australian wine that artfully balances power and elegance. Crafted with 98.5% Shiraz and a touch of 1.5% Viognier, this extraordinary wine showcases the best of Barossa Valley Shiraz, matured for 30 months in French oak barriques—42% new oak, the rest second and third fill—to develop structure, complexity, and depth.
The 2019 vintage reveals crimson and deep purple hues, leading to an intense aromatic profile of cherry plum, dark chocolate, mulberry, and exotic five-spice, layered with subtle savoury undertones. On the palate, this full-bodied red wine offers firm tannins integrated seamlessly with a silky, textured midpalate, concluding with a persistent, powerful finish.
Comparable in depth and character to the legendary wines of Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, Torbreck Runrig is a benchmark example of collectible Australian Shiraz with outstanding ageing potential—a must-have for serious wine enthusiasts and investors alike.

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 incredibly old, 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, together with 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 of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour. |
