Shiraz 100% . 15.00% Vol. Alc. . Single vineyard Shiraz, from one of the best ones in Barossa Valley, Gnadenfrei, the envy of many winemakers in the area . Planted in 1958 in dark clayey soils with reddish layers, and limestone, it gives away small and highly concentrated berries . Manually cared,
gives very low yields of excellent quality . The 2013 vintage was one of the driest, hottest, and earliest that can be remembered in the area, obtaining a high alcoholic degree, masterfully balanced

Intense dark ruby ​​color . Very deep on the nose with black licorice, ripe plum, black olive, and bakery hints . Idem in the mouth, with acidity fully balanced with its tannins . This wine is aged for 36 months in the “magic cask” of the prestigious Burgundy cooperage, Dominique Laurent, whose particularity is that its staves are twice as thick as normal ones . An excellent wine, within all details

The name of Torbreck refers to a Scottish forest where the founder, Dave Powell, worked as a lumberjack during his youth . After dropping out of economics, with no background in wine business, he worked in different wine regions around the world until he settled in Marananga, Barrosa Valley, where he discovered and rescued old vineyards, creating his own style of wines that has become a world reference
