A perennial favourite, Grenache from old vines shows it ability to exhibit lifted florals, red juicy fruit characters such as wild cherry, raspberry and pomegranate. The palate has delicious texture and long acidity balancing a freshness from savoury Mataro and bolder Shiraz components.
Torbreck Vintners was founded by David Powell in 1994, when he was able to secure a contract for the supply of grapes from a run-down but ancient Shiraz vineyard. He named his wine 'Torbreck' after a forest in Scotland where he worked as a lumberjack.
Since 1994, Torbreck has been committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines reflecting the very best vineyards in Australia’s famous Barossa, which is also home to some of the most precious old vines in the world. Torbreck not only works in a successful partnership with the very best grape growers of Barossa vineyards but also invests in some of Barossa’s most treasurable vineyards, that are all now under the custodianship of Torbreck. The Torbreck endeavour is based on the classic Barossa Valley varietals of Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, and whites are made from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne.
Cuvée Juveniles was created as a ‘Cote Du Rhone’ inspired bistro wine from the classic Barossa varieties of Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) and Shiraz from mostly old, unirrigated vineyards. These varieties are the cornerstone of the Barossa Valley and are intrinsic in the wines that are so easily appreciated around the world and often referred to as GSM blends by sommeliers and consumers alike.
