Torbreck Factor Shiraz 2016 Magnum

The Factor pays homage to the Barossa’s unique point of difference - great old Shiraz vineyards and the growers who painstakingly tend and nurture them each year.

Many of these vineyards were planted in the 19th century and because of South Australia’s far-sighted quarantine policy, were not affected by the phylloxera outbreak that ravaged the vineyards of the world in the 1880s. They survive on their own roots more than a century later as clonal time capsules.

97 "Deep and densely coloured; full-bodied and rich in Torbreck style. On the first assessment the wine is indeed impressive, then impact ex tannins and alcohol hit, then a mouthful of soda water recalibrates all the black cherry, blackberry, licorice and charcuterie flavours come striding through on the mid-palate and on to the finish." - James Halliday Wine Companion
