Torbreck The Descendent Shiraz

Torbreck The Descendent Shiraz

$72.97

When Torbreck co-fermented this “descendant” Shiraz with Viognier, it was a first in the Barossa – now we have been joined my many others, a testament to the success of this Rhone blend.

Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig, and the blend of fruit is then co-fermented. Maturation over 18 months is in barrels that have previously been used for RunRig.

The deep red clay soils in this vineyard produces fruit that has a glorious perfume, a savoury flavour and a satin-like texture.

Description

TORBRECK VINTNERS WAS CREATED WITH THE AIM OF BUILDING ONE OF THE BEST WINE ESTATES IN THE WORLD. THE VISION IS TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE VINEYARDS OF THE BAROSSA VALLEY, HOME TO SOME OF THE OLDEST VINES ON THE PLANET.

TORBRECK SHIRAZ

The 2022 vintage was characterised by above average winter rains making up for a dry autumn, leading to full canopies and healthy vines for the harvest. A severe hailstorm across some parts of the Valley in late October resulted in lower averageyields.The summer was remarkably mild with very few days above 30 degrees. Slow ripening in the cooler conditions made for a gentle and drawn-out vintage season, resulting in wines with higher natural acidity, rich colours and fine tannins. The wines from 2022 will reward those patient enough to cellar them away.
