Torbreck Descendant Shiraz 2018
This single vineyard, located next to their winery block on Roennfeldt Road, was planted in 1994 with cuttings taken from their RunRig grower vineyards – some of the oldest genetic vine material in Australia. Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig, and the blend of fruit is then co-fermented. Maturation over 20 months is in barrels that have previously been used for RunRig.
