TORBRECK THE FACTOR SHIRAZ 2022 - red

Style : Bold & PowerfulTorbreck Vintners was already one of Australia’s best-known producers of high-quality red wine when, in '13, wealthy Californian entrepreneur and vintner Peter Kight (of Quivira Vineyards) acquired 100% ownership of the business. Talented winemaker Ian Hongell joined the team in '16. Shiraz and other Rhône varieties are the focus, led by The Laird, RunRig, The Factor and Descendant. Wines are unfined and unfiltered. JAMES HALLIDAYThe Factor, a subregional blend of shiraz from across the parishes of the Barossa, is again in rude form after the excellent '21 release. Fruit aromas of blood plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of clove, kirsch, dark chocolate bullets, cherry ripe, ironstone, blackforest cake, spicy oak and earth. Concentrated and darkly spiced with a flow of black fruits, plenty of spice, fine, sandy tannins and an extended draw on the exit.
