Torbreck Woodcutter’s Shiraz

100% Shiraz

Barossa Valley

2011

Winemaker’s Notes

The name Woodcutter’s stems from David Powell’s several years spent working the Scottish Highlands as a lumberjack in the Torbreck forest.  This wine reflects the up & coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines which make up the core of our other cuvee’s.  Dense, rich and opulent, this wine combines great fruit purity with texture, complexity and finesse.

It is elegant, structured and powerful and is a fantastic introduction to the Torbreck range.  Whilst offering immense pleasure in its youth the 2011 Woodcutter’s Shiraz will no doubt develop into an impressive wine with a few years in the cellar.

WineChump Notes

This is a very nice example of a pure Barossa Valley Shiraz.  It’s lightly oaked, but retains a bright cherry nose and polite finish.
