Torbreck RunRig (2020)
750mL / Barossa Valley, SA / Australia
Torbreck Run Rig is gorgeously opulent, perfumed and densely concentrated.
The Shiraz fruit is sourced from 80 to 125 year old dry grown vineyards located on the western ridge of the Barossa.
In most years the wine includes a tiny amount of Viognier in the blend.
Maturation takes place in a mix of old and new French oak for up to 2.5 years.
Torbreck Run Rig is incredibly opulent with super-ripe fruit expressions and dense velveteen tannin structures.
Although the style was intensely controversial upon first release, RunRig is now considered a confident new expression of Barossa Shiraz with the hallmarks of a modern classic.
