Appearance
Deep purple and almost opaque in colour, with a commanding presence in the glass.
Nose
Intensely aromatic and vibrant, The Laird 2017 bursts with ripe black fruits—blackberry, plum, and mulberry—elevated by layered notes of liquorice, cinnamon, and roasted espresso beans. It’s an intricate bouquet that signals both power and poise.
Palate
Full-bodied and profoundly textured, this Shiraz offers luxurious layers of dark fruit, integrated spice, and complex oak character. The mouthfeel is round and plush, supported by fine-grained tannins and a silky texture that leads to an incredibly long and persistent finish.

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. |
