Torbreck Runrig 2019

  • Grape 98.5% Shiraz, 1.5% Viognier
  • Country Australia
  • Region Barossa Valley
  • ABV 15.5%
  • Producer Torbreck
  • Case size 6 / 75cl
  • 30 months on new (42%), second fill and third fill French oak barriques
  • Crimson and deep purple hues Cherry plum, dark chocolate, mulberry, and five-spice with savoury tones Full-bodied, firm tannins interplay with a generous, silky, textural midpalate weight. The finish is firm and persistent. Although wonderfully aromatic, Runrig also exhibits power and latent richness, making it more akin to the hugely concentrated wines sourced from the sun-drenched hill of Hermitage—the historic home of Syrah and some of the world’s most powerful and longest-living wines.

An above-average winter rainfall led to a below-average spring and summer rainfall, producing small bunches and small berries and a reduced yield. Quality was certainly high, particularly amongst our red varieties of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. 2018 wines will be remembered for their impressive colour, structure and longevity. Grape 98% Shiraz, 2% Viognier Maturing 30 months on new (50%), second fill and third fill French oak barriques, completing a natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and resting on fine lees throughout maturation to enhance texture Alc/Vol 15%

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.
