About this wine
Torbreck The Sporran Shiraz, Barossa Valley
A quintessential Torbreck wine, the Sporran Shiraz is widely considered one of their best value wines. One sip, however, of this plush and silky wine will drive all care for ‘value’ out the window. A highly concentrated expression of a Barossa Shiraz, this wine is bold and rich with supple tannins. Expect a complex nose of dark fruit and spice with a diverse palate of black fruits that will age beautifully well into the future.
‘It’s a bristling kind of Shiraz’
Torbreck Chief Winemaker Ian Hongell.

Expert Review
LANGTONS
It was May 2021 when I visited Torbreck. We had two purposes for the visit - to taste the new vintage of The Laird and to check out 2020 Sporran. Ian Hogell dragged Andrew Caillard, a couple of others plus myself to taste a tank sample of the Sporran - to put it mildly - we were blown away! I have been offering the Sporran since the 2008 vintage, and I can say this is the best Sporran yet! So much so that we delayed the launch to give it some time in bottle to ensure that when you try it, the wine is going to shine. I hope you love this wine as much as us.

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.
