[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2013

Wine Front 94 points!
“..Power, length, curls of tannin and straight-out impact, this puts some serious runs on the board. It tastes of prunes, dates, saltbush and liquorice, its more earthen/spicy notes playing third fiddle. It also shows clear signs of alcohol warmth. But it has to be said that the finish of this wine, complete with a cappuccino-like sprinkling of chocolate, is impressively firm and rich.”
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, 2016

The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor. Having spent two years in predominantly older oak, this wine manages to express true Barossa Shiraz character

 

Our homage to the great old Shiraz vines of the Barossa Valley and the growers who painstakingly tend and nurture them each year. The Factor displays the concentration & fruit purity that only the most meticulous farming can achieve. Delicate scents of wild blackberries, pipe smoke and pepper are supported by a dark core of espresso roast, black currants and coal. The palate offers tremendous texture and combines great richness with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather and minerals.

Brooding and densely packed, this majestic wine has the constitution to cellar for many years where it will slowly unravel its extravagant riches. The reputation of the Barossa as the pre-eminent red wine growing region of Australia rests firmly on wines such as this.
