2022 Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz
WINEMAKER: Ian Hongell
REGION: Barossa Valley, SA
VARIETY: Shiraz
VITICULTURE: Sustainable/Organic
Fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, then open fermented and gently basket pressed before ageing on fine lees for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels and foudres.
Lifted blue and black fruits of blueberry conserve, mulberry, wild blackberry and black plum. There is a forest note that exhibits characters such as sandalwood, rosemary and wild thyme. Soft caressing tannins and voluptuous mouthfeel from plump Shiraz berries gives this wine a posture that belies its pedigree.
