From the start, the aim at the great Torbreck estate was to create top-quality Rhône-style wines, using the great grapes of the Barossa. They work with the best growers, many of them multi-generational, who know each vine, the soil and climate and how they interact. It is this respect for nature and expressing it in their wines that makes them so revered. The Barossa boasts some of the oldest Rhône-varietal, dry-grown vines in the world – Grenache, Syrah and Mataro – which they use in their 98-point wines like The Laird. Earlier-drinking Cuvée Juveniles uses those old-vine grapes, plus Counoise and Carignan for extra savoury spice. Hand-picked, basket-pressed and aged a year in older barrels, this is a lavish red, delicious now or cellar.
