Descendant, Torbreck

£79.00    

This single vineyard wine was produced from hallowed cuttings from the Run Rig Vineyards by Dave Powell in 1994 (some of the oldest genetic material in Australia). The Barossa's first co-fermented Shiraz/Viognier, Descendant has been joined by many more in the last couple of years - a testament to its success.

Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig. The blend of fruit is then co-fermented and later the wine is matured for 18 months in barrels that had been previously used for RunRig.

The deep red clay soils in this vineyard produce fruit which is very savory, textured and rich, a satin-like texture and a glorious perfume. Of all the Torbreck releases this is one that really needs patience. Its immediate charm can be enjoyed upon release with a few hours breathing, but after the first 6 months, the rest should be locked away for at least 5 years.

An absolute beast! Ideal for anyone who needs convincing that Australia can make majestic wines. Equally anyone who claims to be a Shriaz fan and has not tried this wine needs it in their lives!
