TASTING NOTE: "Destemmed, open-fermented, 7 days on skins, matured for 30 months in French barriques (50% new) before blending trials determined 2% of viognier be blended in. One of the classic Torbreck wines, with the added benefits of the '15 vintage. It is a gorgeously deep pool of supple, mouthfilling/watering fruit flavours (impossible, I know, but it is). Seduction clinically confronts and comforts the consumer. Black fruits, licorice and a shaft of dark chocolate, plus oak, do the business." - 97 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
ABOUT THE WINE: 98% Shiraz, 2% Viognier, 30 months on new (50%), second fill and third fill French oak barriques, completing a natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and resting on fine lees throughout maturation to enhance texture -
ABOUT THE PRODUCER: First established by Dave Powell in the 1990's Torbreck Vintners was acquired in September 2013, by wealthy Californian entrepreneur and vintner Peter Kight (of Quivira Vineyards). Talented winemaker Ian Hongell joined the team in '16. Shiraz (and other Rhône varieties) is the focus, led by The Laird, RunRig, The Factor and Descendant. Wines are unfined and unfiltered and there is a focus on protecting and spotlighting the old vine vineyards within the Barossa.
