TORBRECK RunRig Shiraz, Barossa Valley 2022 Bottle
About this wine
TORBRECK RunRig Shiraz, Barossa Valley
Gorgeously opulent, perfumed and densely concentrated, Torbreck Run Rig takes its name from a Scottish distribution method of property. 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. 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.

David Powell, a former lumberjack turned winemaker, established Torbreck in 1994. Since then, the tiny winery operation has grown exponentially, buoyed by the success of its highly opulent and perfumed wines. Torbreck sources fruit from a myriad of dry grown low-yielding vineyards located on the western ridge of the Barossa Valley and as far south as the Jacob’s Creek area. These include established century-old vineyards. It either share-farms or has full vineyard management control, ensuring optimum fruit quality, ripeness and flavour development. The wines are batch vinified in open fermenters and vinification incorporates a palette of winemaking options including pre-fermentation cold soak, extended maceration, partial whole bunch fermentation, warm and cooler ferment regimes and regular pumping over.
