Details
About the Product
- Producer Notes
- This wine reflects the up and coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines that make up the core of our other cuvées. Although this wine is constantly praised for its succulence and richness, there is also a complexity and texture which is rarely found at this price. Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland. You’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions including this tribute to the foresters of this rugged high country.

-
Like all wines in the Torbreck stable, the fruit is sourced from hand harvested and hand tended plots throughout the Northwestern Barossa Valley. It is fermented in our cement, wooden and stainless steel vats for 6-7 days and then basket pressed to well-seasoned hogsheads and French oak foudres for 12 months. It is bottled without the use of either fining or filtration.

2023 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2024
A refined yet savory nose of blackcurrants, wild blackberries, mocha and iodine. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mulberry bush, olive tapenade and ferric earth. Very chewy and structured with an underlying freshness. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2022 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2024
There's oodles of black currant and blackberry fruit here to start. It's spice flecked with a touch of chocolatey oak and a warm earthy, mineral core. The palate is equally lifted and sculpted, with beautiful line of acidity and taut, herb and spiced tannins. Drink now–2034.

2014 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2017
Dark ruby garnet, deep color core, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Nuances of liquorice underlaid with a little cocoa, black berries, a hint of bergamot, floral notes. Juicy, ripe cherries, subtle sweetness, present tannins, candied violets, mineral, good persistence, chocolaty touch in the floral finish.
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2016
(2016) More density to this then the 2014, more concetration with the spice and openness knocked back in favour of chocolaty, blueberry depth. A full, chewy density of the texture and spicy black fruit, tannins tighter and certainly one with more ageing potential. Note price and stockist is for the 2013 vintage at time of review.
2003 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2005
Woodcutters commemorates winemaker David Powell's lumberjack days in the Scottish Highland. The wine has peppery, savoury, licorice root nose with smoky, black cherry and plum jam flavours flecked with sausage. Round, supple and warm on the palate with a touch of roasted pepper and tobacco on the finish. Normally flavours you would associate with cooler syrah characters. Well balanced and well expressed. It is fermented and aged for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels and foudres to further add to its inviting appeal. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe).
