Viognier (6%) is co-fermented with Shiraz from RunRig cuttings planted in 1994. Like a great Côte-Rôtie, it starts with a thrilling nose and doesn’t let up until a week after you’ve put down the glass. Drinking Window 2022 - 2024.

A blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Viognier aged in second fill barriques (all French oak), the 2016 Descendant features lovely floral aromas, accented by blueberries and a hint of apricot. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and creamy in texture, hugely mouthfilling yet somehow without excessive weight or heat, while the plush, velvety finish adds a hint of dark chocolate. It's a terrific success at a still-reasonable price for the quality

One of Torbreck's strongest bottlings, this offers an upfront lift of blue- and red-berry fruit. It's plump and sensuous, and woven with heaps of savory baking spice, sassafras bark and violet aromas. The palate is equally luxurious, with rich, satiny dark fruit outlined in powerful, chalky tannins. There's ripeness, oak and alcohol aplenty, here, but in Torbreck's typical style, it still manages polish and finesse.

Distinctive and effusive, brimming with violet, white pepper, chai tea and peppermint oil notes, set on a dense frame, with thick tannins. Details of dark chocolate-covered coffee bean, cigar box and minerality gain momentum on the long, expressive finish. Shiraz and Viognier. Drink now through 2034. 73 cases imported.
