Torbreck The Factor Shiraz, Barossa, Australia

Torbreck is on a quest to become one of the greatest wine estates in the world. Since 1994 they have been committed and unwavering in creating exceptional Rhone style wines reflecting the very best of Barossa. Their ethos is minimal intervention and respect to the land, creating wines of richness, structure, and length that age gracefully.

Torbreck The Factor pays homage to the great old Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa that date back to the 19th century. The wines of Torbreck are named with a nod to the Celts. Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, and The Factor referring to the manager of a Highland estate.

Torbreck The Factor 2015 is predominantly from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions of the Barossa, providing dense texture and richness to the palate with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather, and minerals. Ripe aromas of plum and wild blackberries, olive, pepper, and spice are all supported by a dark core of espresso roast, ripe blackberries, and saltbush. Brooding and densely packed, this lavish wine has ample generosity to cellar for many years, where it will slowly unravel its beguiling riches.
