Wine Summary Image

After a cold and rainy winter in 2016, the Barossa had one of

its wettest springs on record, replenishing sub-soil moisture

and setting the vineyards up for a healthy summer.

Mild conditions during veraison and light rains in January and

February 2017, were followed by an extended warm, dry

Indian summer, creating perfect ripening conditions through to

April 2017. An outstanding vintage producing bright, aromatic

whites and intense, well-structured reds.

Expert Reviews

95 points THE REAL REVIEW

"Deep, dark red/purple colour with a big, dried herb, earthy bouquet which has dimension and richness. The wine is big and bold, dense and layered with abundant soft, ripe tannins. This style has breadth

and amplitude, with some herbal notes in amongst the red and dark fruits. A bold, ballsy wine with lots of stuffing."

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

dark blood red/garnet.

Aroma

Lifted floral, and perfumed notes intermingle with aromas of red and black fruits such as plum, black berry and mulberry.

Palate

The tannins and balance strike you immediately. The viognier skins providing the extra tannin grip and firmer structure, ready for cellaring.

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Torbreck is on a quest to become one of the world’s great wine marques.

A critical part of this journey is remaining unwaveringly true to our core vision and not being diverted by trends and fashions.

Since 1994 Torbreck has been committed to creating exceptional Rhone style red and white wines reflecting the very best vineyards in Australia’s famous Barossa.

Provenance is everything to us. We believe the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175 years of Silesian and English commitment to winemaking and grape-growing.

There is a European sense of tradition here that means vines planted in the 1840s – many of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour.

Torbreck pays tribute to these vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully.

The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck’s winemaking aspirations. Without their knowledge of the seasons and the soil, we would not have such a precious resource of fruit to work with.

Torbreck has also been fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in the protection of some of the Barossa’s most precious vineyards, after accepting fruit from them over many years. The historic Hillside Vineyard at Lyndoch, The Laird Vineyard in the sub-region of Marananga and the Greenock Keller Vineyard owned by the Schultz family, are all now under the custodianship of Torbreck.
