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.
$139.00 each
