Torbreck The Laird 2017

Since 1994, Torbreck have been committed to creating exceptional Rhone style wines reflecting the very best vineyards in the Barossa valley. 

In Scottish terminology, ‘The Laird’ refers to the Lord of the Manor. 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.

Immediately aromas of rich black and red fruits such as and mulberry, blackberry red cherry and cassis fill the bouquet, complimented by savoury notes of tobacco leaf, garrigue, tar, bay leaf, vanilla pod and sarsaparilla root. Alluring spices such as cinnamon and liquorice meld further into the complexing amalgam of flavours. The palate possesses great fruit depth and a degree of elegance displaying wonderful harmony and posture with firm tight tannins holding the fruit and the structure together.

Serve this wine at 16C with prime cuts, roast BBQ Pork or vintage cheddar. 

The 2017 The Laird will reward those with patience. Enjoy from 2025 and cellar to 2050+.
