"Torbreck's Descendant is made from vines that were taken as cuttings from RunRig vineyards. It's fermented on viognier (grape) skins that were used in RunRig Shiraz. It's the descendant of RunRig in all ways. Flooded with warm flavour. Blueberries and blackberries, cedar-spice and apricot stones. There's some saltiness here too, most notably in the aftertaste. Its tannin structure is very fine, and very good. Lots of juicy, warm, flavoursome length. It was a tough, warm vintage but it's usual hedonistic personality is still wholly in place. Fresh, bright, rich and silken."

"The 2007 Descendant is composed of 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier sourced from a single vineyard. Super-fragrant with a floral lift from the Viognier component, it gives up exotic scents of smoke, bacon fat, Asian spices, and wild blueberry. Voluptuous on the palate with loads of succulent fruit (a rarity in this challenging vintage), it has impeccable balance and 4-6 years of aging potential. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2027."
