Many of these vineyards were planted in the 19th century and because of South Australia’s far-sighted quarantine policy, were not affected by the phylloxera outbreak that ravaged the vineyards of the world in the 1880s. They survive on their own roots more than a century later as clonal time capsules.

The reputation of the Barossa as the pre-eminent red wine growing region of Australia rests firmly on wines such as this.

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.
