Torbreck Vintners, established in by David Powell, is renowned for producing premium wines from the Barossa Valley, a region celebrated for its rich, full-bodied reds. The RunRig is a flagship wine that showcases the winery's dedication to traditional winemaking techniques and the exceptional terroir of the Barossa. This wine is predominantly composed of Shiraz, with a small percentage of Viognier added to enhance its aromatic complexity. The grapes are sourced from some of the oldest vineyards in the region, and the wine is aged in French oak barrels, which imparts a subtle oak influence and enhances its structure. The RunRig offers a complex flavor profile with notes of dark berries, plums, and spice, complemented by a velvety tannin structure and a long, elegant finish. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef stew, or aged cheeses.

The must-try wine Tightly wound yet with cashmere tannins, soft kid-glove oak and cut-finger minerality. The anise, clove and cinnamon-edged palate is unbelievably svelte, like melted chocolate. On day two, succulent, spicy cherry fruit emerges, with blackberry liqueur, roses and violets. Savoury cep undertones, graphite and cedar follow through on an endless finish. A stunning blend of six old vineyards, one planted in the 1850s.
