Description:
David Powell discovered some land in 1992 that had old Shiraz vines growing on it that were almost dead. After nursing them back to health he secured a contract to supply the grapes to a local grower. After realising that this hobby could be made into a business he decided to go full time. In 1994 he founded the company and named it Torbreck after a forrest in Scotland where he had worked as a lumberjack. The Struie sources fruit from the high altitudes of Eden Valley imparting delicate spice, white pepper and fruit characters. While the Barossa component displays a richer, deeper, more brooding flavour and intensity. The combined structure will reward extended cellaring.A 'modern classic' 'The view from the Struie down across the Dornoch Firth is as inspiring as that of the Valley floor from the Barossa Ranges. This wine is a blend of Shiraz from the Eden and Barossa Valleys, combining the best of both regions'. David Powell Varietal : 100 percent Shiraz Regions : Eden Valley and Barossa Valley .

Torbreck THE STEADING Oaked Grenache Shiraz Mataro Barossa Valley
Description: If any one wine we produce most exemplifies what Torbreck is, then it is this wine, our ode to the great old vines, planted at the turn of last century, that survived the vine-pull scheme of the 1980s. Thankfully there are still many great vineyards remaining that are planted to Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz , the traditional Barossa varieties. From cuttings brought back from James Busby's 1831-2 trip to France and Spain and planted on their own roots these vineyards are some of the most precious in the world. Share-farming agreements with the Barossa' s best growers has enabled us to gain access to these vineyards among the precious in the world. Share-farming agreements with the Barossa' s best growers has enabled us to gain access to these vineyards and their fruit each season. From there we crush, ferment, gently press and mature the wine in seasoned oak casks for 18 months before bottling without filtration. Most importantly, there are about 45 different parcels of fruit that compose The Steading which are all fermented and matured separately , being brought together only at blending where their individuality is assessed prior to the composition of the final blend. The Steading is the reference point for Grenache dominant blends produced in the Barossa Valley and is made for the dining table. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £279.50

Torbreck RUN RIG Shiraz Viognier Barossa Valley
Description: David Powell discovered some land in 1992 that had old Shiraz vines growing on it that were almost dead. After nursing them back to health he secured a contract to supply the grapes to a local grower. After realising that this hobby could be made into a business he decided to go full time. In 1994 he founded the company and named it Torbreck after a forrest in Scotland where he had worked as a lumberjack. Torbreck's flagship wine, RunRig is named after the Scottish Highland clans system to distribute land amongst its clansmen in a series of widely dispersed holdings or 'Runrig'. Great care is taken from the vineyard where the vines are over 100 years old to the winery, where the Shiraz cuvee spends 30 months in 60 percent new French Oak . The 3 percent estate grown Viognier is also fermented and aged for 6 months in barrel and then added to the blend just prior to bottling. This is a structured, muscular Shiraz blended with a little Viognier that is showing phenomenal density, dry vintage port-like concentration, and magnificent notes of smoke, blackberries, cassis, leather and coffee. A hint of viognier's sweet marmalade character comes through as the wine sits in the glass. Limited Availability. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £683.09

Torbreck THE FACTOR Shiraz Barossa Valley
Description: This wine is composed of 100% Shiraz and was first produced from the 1998 vintage. In the early 1980s valuable Australian Shiraz vineyards were pulled out because of lack of market interest. The movement to cool climate viticulture and wine made the Barossa, of all places, look rather irrelevant. However this trend reversed dramatically with the internationalization of the Australian wine market and renewed enthusiasm of local buyers. This is our tribute to those surviving vines and is made in the traditional Barossa manner , rich and rewarding upon release and beautifully ethereal with age.
