TORBRECK Woodcutter’s Shiraz 2006
Barossa Valley, Australia
Purple-colored, it has an attractive array of pepper, spicy blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry muffin aromas. Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, the wine delivers gobs of meaty, full-flavored blue and black fruits to accompany its forward, easy-going personality. Drink this over the next 4-6 years. Although this wine is constantly praised for being succulent and rich, perhaps the best features of Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz are its complexity and texture.
Low yielding, old and dry grown Barossa Valley vineyards are the cornerstone of Torbreck. The name Woodcutters stems from when David Powell spent several years working in the Scottish Highlands as a lumberjack or woodcutter in the Torbreck forest. The Woodcutters Red, like all Torbreck wines, sources fruit from hand harvested and hand tended, low yielding vines. It is fermented and gently pressed, then aged for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels.
