Producer Information

Torbreck is a leading wine producer in the Barossa Valley region of Australia, specializing in Shiraz. It is particularly known for its powerful and aromatic flagship RunRig Shiraz (made from 120-160-year-old vines with a dash of Viognier), and The Laird, a single vineyard Shiraz that is one of the most expensive wines made in Australia. Torbreck has a large portfolio, however, and makes around 15 wines in all predominantly based around Rhne varieties including Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. The estate was founded by David Powell in 1994 with grapes initially obtained on a sharecropping basis. The name comes from a forest in Scotland where he once worked as a lumberjack, and many of the wines also have Scottish-themed names. Torbreck has since developed its own vineyard holdings but much of its fruit is still sourced from selected growers throughout the Barossa Valley.
