  • Region Barossa Valley
  • ABV 15.5%
  • Producer Torbreck

  • Deep purple, opaque. Energetic and aromatic, it lifts black fruits of blackberry, plum, and mulberry and intertwines them with liquorice, cinnamon, and roast espresso. It is Full-bodied, round, and plush. The palate has a multitude of complexities balanced by layers of silken-like texture, firm tannins, and a long finish.

 

This single vineyard Shiraz comes from an old vineyard in Marananga, planted in 1958. The five-acre vineyard is traditionally dry-grown and comes from an original Barossa clonal source. South facing, on the eastern side of a ridge separating the Seppeltsfield and Marananga appellations, these aged vines have been meticulously hand-tended, traditionally farmed, and pruned by a grower with a lifetime of experience on Western Barossa soils of very dark, heavy clay loam over red friable clay. The resulting low yields of small, concentrated Shiraz berries make the vineyard the envy of all winemakers in the Barossa.

Winery
The vision of Torbreck Vintners, founded in 1994, was 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, which 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 Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvedre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour.
