The Viognier in this 2019 RunRig has been absorbed somehow, compressed by the warm, low-yielding vintage that birthed it. It has been pushed down into the reaches of the Shiraz, which is a very good thing, as its propensity for slinky-like bounce and spiral needs some limiting. This is insanely complex yet also balanced. Charry oak frames the wines from all sides, but like the gravity pull on the earth from the sun, the oak is drawn inexorably inward.

This system emphasized the communal element of the whole rather than any one farm, and the RunRig Shiraz embodies this philosophy by blending Shiraz from old dry-grown vineyards with Viognier to complement the strengths and complexities of each individual parcel of fruit, giving the wine a further dimension. The resulting wine has often drawn comparisons with the beautifully fragrant and tautly structured wines produced from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley's Appellation of Côte Rôtie. With this wine, Torbreck has created a true masterpiece that embodies the spirit of community and the beauty of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cmslanding__image-title\"\u003eTOP VINTAGES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__image-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2001, 1998, 1996, 1995.

We looked longingly at the wine when it was returned to the Seppelts, knowing that it was the best we had ever made. In 2005 we convinced the Seppelts to sell Torbreck the fruit and The Laird was born. In 2013 Torbreck purchased the Gnadenfrei vineyard, securing The Laird’s reputation as one of the world’s great single vineyard Shiraz wines. Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland and you’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions. The Laird of the Estate in Scotland is the Lord of the Manor and master of all he surveys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: \u003cspan\u003e2024-2039\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003ePlanted in 1958, the five acre vineyard is traditionally dry grown and comes from an original Barossa clonal source. South facing, on the eastern side of a ridge separating the Seppeltsfield and Marananga appellations, these aged vines have been meticulously hand tended, traditionally farmed and pruned by a grower with a lifetime’s experience on Western Barossa soils of very dark, heavy clay loam over red friable clay. The resulting low yields of small, concentrated Shiraz berries make the vineyard the envy of all winemakers in the Barossa.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eHarvest Date Notes: Mulitple picks at optimal ripeness.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eWinemaking\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eMalcolm Seppelts’ vineyard is hand picked in two separate parcels a few days apart depending on vintage conditions. It is immediately taken to the winery where the fruit is gently de-stemmed into wooden \u0026amp; concrete open top fermenters. It is then carefully nurtured for 6-7 days on skins with pumpovers occurring twice daily, varying in duration and intensity. When primary fermentation is almost complete, the wine is drained from the skins and the must is gently basket pressed for 8 hours. The wine remains in a stainless steel tank until primary fermentation is completed. It is then run directly into new French barriques.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eAgeing\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003e36 months in new French oak barriques coopered by Dominique Laurent and known as ‘Magic Casks’.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43742985355459,"sku":"SK58699114","price":815.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/4714\/4643\/files\/laird_gift_box.png?v=1784079651"},{"product_id":"copy-of-2021-torbreck-the-steading-gsm-375ml","title":"2021 Torbreck The Steading GSM 375ml Half Bottle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOn a highland farm in Scotland the collection of barns, stables and outbuildings is known as a Steading. Here in the Barossa Valley the varieties Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz all stand in their own right, however in blending, their strengths create a complex wine of solid, earthy structure. It is sourced from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz vines that survived the worldwide phylloxera outbreak of the 1880s, and a century later, the vine-pull scheme in the Barossa in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protection of this old vine resource of the Barossa Valley is central to the Torbreck story and this wine, more than any other, is an indication of what is possible from these historic cultivars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 summer growing season was mild, with even and cool daily temperatures throughout. Enhanced by good rains provided during the winter and spring of 2020, our vineyards grew wonderful canopies and developed well-formed grape bunches. As a result of this long flavour development cycle in the vineyard, 2021’s signature is wines of high aromatic lift with densely coloured tints and exceptional balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted aromas of red currant, pomegranate, red cherry and red plum. The secondary aromas of spice and earthy, such as clove, star anise, bay leaf and wild thyme add complexity. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a dense core of plush red-berried fruits whilst leaning towards the savoury side. Firm tannins envelope the mouth and provide depth and a plushness with an elongated finish. The 2021 Steading is indicative of the harvest from low yielding old bush vines that produced high quality wines. Pair with game meats poultry or Chinese roast pork.
