Torbreck Vintners is one of Australia’s best, may be even one of the best wineries in the world when it comes to cultivating and elaborating wines from the Shiraz variety (a.k.a. Syrah in other parts of the world).
Since Robert Parker began awarding Torbreck with excellent notes and comments, rumors imply that every winery in Australia tried to imitate the “Torbreck way”, in an attempt to obtain similar wines and therefore similar scores from Robert Parker.

Time, however, put things finally in their place and, despite Parker’s well known fondness for certain wines, it is nonetheless true that Torbreck’s have a highly international recognition that goes beyond the favorable, well-deserved notes from the Wine Advocate year after year.

If you haven’t yet discovered the Torbreck wines, we bring you probably one of the most extensive on-line selection from this extraordinary winery.

Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy some of the best wines in the world. We definitely recommend you to take a look at Juveniles 2009, one of the best values in store.

Torbreck Woodcutter’s Shiraz, a “fruit explosion”

INVINIC — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 22:00:00 +0000

Torbreck’s history begins in 1994 in a small town in the sub region of Marananga, in Barossa Valley – nowadays one of the best wine regions in Australia. It is precisely in this place where David Powell guided by his faith in the potential of the area settled his winery.

David started with the recovery of the centenarian Shiraz (high quality grape variety farmed in Australia) vineyards that were practically abandoned. After healing these old vineyards he was finally able to pick the first harvest of Torbreck. The name comes from a Scottish forest where David used to work as a woodcutter.

David’s determination and effort finally bestowed Torbreck with the best vineyards in the Barossa valley – area where some of the most valuable vineyards are located – elaborating the magnificent Torbreck Woodcutter’s Shiraz, a real “fruit explosion”. The result is a wine with body, a bright red colour and marked hints of blueberry, cherry, lavender and pepper. It is an easy to drink wine, even for white wine lovers due to its balance and softness.

If you like fruity wines with body, this can be your wine.

How can we know whether an Australian Shiraz is a high quality wine?
A good way of being sure we have a good quality Shiraz can be getting only the wines where the wine region is clearly specified – for instance, Barossa, McLaren Vale, Hunter Valley. If the wine label just specifies “Australia”, the grape variety might have been farmed anywhere and generally – although there are always exceptions- the wine might be of a lower quality.
