Tasting Notes – A Masterpiece in the Glass

Torbreck The Laird 2018 pours a deep, opaque purple – a visual signal of its immense concentration and power. The nose is extraordinarily expressive, offering layers of blackberry, mulberry, and dark plum, beautifully interwoven with liquorice, roasted espresso, cinnamon, and hints of fine oak.

The palate is sumptuously full-bodied, carrying plush textures and firm, integrated tannins. Its structure is both commanding and elegant, with silken layers of flavour and an exceptionally long finish. A wine of profound depth and character, it reveals more with every sip.

This is more than just a wine – it's an experience. The Laird 2018 evokes emotion, memory, and sensation, transcending typical tasting notes. It's the kind of wine that lingers in your mind long after the last glass.

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