Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2020

Since 1994 Torbreck have been committed to creating Rhone style wines reflecting the very best vineyards in the Barossa valley. Wines such as The Laird, Runrig & The Struie are among the very finest red wines produced anywhere in Australia, if not the world.

Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland and you’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions. The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor. This wine pays homage to the unique point of difference in the Barossa - great old shiraz vineyards and the growers who meticulously tend to and nurture them each year. 

The Factor is predominantly from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions of the Barossa. Very expressive with lifted black fruits such as satsuma plum, blackberry, compote, vanilla bean dark cocoa and maraschino liqueur. Complex, luxuriously dense and alluring. The mineral components
highlight Barossa Ironstone, dried earth and eucalypt. The wine’s voluptuous texture envelops the mouth with soft yet dense tannins and mouth filling viscosity. The flavours linger and the cleansing acidity polishes the palates gorgeous length and depth. Oak maturation is harmonious and well integrated adding to complexity on release. Enjoy from 2024 -2045. Best decanted and paired with rich winter dishes from most cuisines.
