[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck Hillside Shiraz Roussanne 2020

A LITTLE ROUSSANNE IS COFERMENTED WITH THE SHIRAZ FROM THE REGARDED HILLSIDE VINEYARD, ADDING FLORAL NOTES AND SOFTNESS.  

 

"Due to our success in co-fermenting Shiraz and Viognier, we thought it would be interesting to co-ferment the skins from Roussanne with Shiraz. We selected a Shiraz vineyard in Lyndoch that gave us the perfect structure and purity of fruit to balance the aromatics of the Roussanne. Once the juice was gently whole bunch pressed from the Roussanne grapes, the skins were added to the Shiraz and co-fermented. The resulting wine is as unique as it is intense; beautifully lifted and balanced and surprisingly distinctive.

Lifted aromas offer a core of black fruits such as satsuma plum, blackberry and blackcurrant with complexity interwoven from black olive and graphite. The oak aromas are balanced and muffled by the primary fruits that swell in the glass. A plush mouthfeel surrounds the core of dark fruits and complements soft and silky tannins that are harmonious and textural. A wine that will benefit from medium term cellaring is recommended, if you can resist its youthful allure." - Torbreck
