- Deep purple, opaque. Energetic and aromatic, it lifts black fruits of blackberry, plum, and mulberry and intertwines them with liquorice, cinnamon, and roast espresso. It is Full-bodied, round, and plush. The palate has a multitude of complexities balanced by layers of silken-like texture, firm tannins, and a long finish.
Torbreck The Laird 2019
Single-vineyard wines at the behest and the mercy of the seasons are fascinating to view over time. You understand the essence of the style of the wine and the vineyard DNA, so you sit, patiently waiting for the vintages and seasons that meet your proclivities to roll around. The 2018 vintage is one of those for me, as it will be the cool 2021 and 2022 seasons. The fruit is sourced from the Gnaden Frei vineyard, planted in 1958 in Marananga. The fruit was picked over various picks at optimal ripeness and matured for 36 months in new French oak barriques by Dominique Laurent. Eminently red-fruited in the mouth, this 2018 The Laird reflects the 2018 season in that it is pure, fresh, laden with blood plum, saturated in red berries, and framed by savoury, exotically spiced black tannins. The oak, while a prominent feature of the wine, supports the fruit at all times and assists in extending the flavour through the finish. Thick in the mouth, yet still fresh, this wine has a moreish quality. I love it. (It is likely unnecessary to tell you that the wine is incredibly full-bodied. It is enveloping and huge but wonderful.)

| Winery | The vision of Torbreck Vintners, founded in 1994, was born out of a desire to create some of the greatest wines in the world by using the ancient, dry-grown Shiraz vineyards surrounding the Barossa Valley. Securing these vineyards initially involved share-farming the property, which involves paying the owner a percentage of the market rate for their grapes in return for managing the vineyard. This share-farming principle, together with their selection of some of the most highly prized vineyards, formed the founding pillars of Torbreck’s incredible international success. The vineyards, in particular, enabled them to source some of the very best fruit in the Barossa Valley, home to some of the world's oldest and most precious vines. Provenance is everything to Torbreck. They believe that the Barossa Valley, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175-year Silesian and English winemaking history, is the most exciting place in the world to make wine. A European sense of tradition here means that vines planted in the 1840s – many of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour. |
