| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThis wine reflects the up and coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines that make up the core of our other cuv\u00e9es. But like all Torbreck wines, Woodcutter\u2019s Shiraz receives the very best viticultural and winemaking treatment. Fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, then open fermented and gently basket pressed before ageing on fine lees for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels and foudres. Although this wine is constantly praised for its succulence and richness, there is also a complexity and texture which is rarely found at this price.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Torbreck Vintners\u00a0\r\nTorbreck is on a quest to become one of the world\u2019s great wine marques.\r\nA critical part of this journey is remaining unwavering true to our core vision and not being diverted by trends and fashions.Provenance is everything to us. We believe the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175 years of Silesian and English commitment to winemaking and grape-growing.\r\nThere is a European sense of tradition here that means vines planted in the 1840s \u2013 many of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, Mourv\u00e9dre \u2013 still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour.\r\nTorbreck pays tribute to these vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully.\r\nThe multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck\u2019s winemaking aspirations. Without their knowledge of the seasons and the soil, we would not have such a precious resource of fruit to work with.\r\nTorbreck has also been fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in the protection of some of the Barossa\u2019s most precious vineyards, after accepting fruit from them over many years. The historic Hillside Vineyard at Lyndoch, The Laird Vineyard in the sub-region of Marananga and the Greenock Keller Vineyard owned by the Schultz family, are all now under the custodianship of Torbreck.\r\nIn 2008 this long-term commitment to the Barossa was cemented when we completed our winery and bottling line, enabling us to achieve maximum quality control through 100% estate vinification, maturation and packaging.\r\nOur latest development was the 2017 expansion of our original settler\u2019s cottage cellar door to become an international guest centre, where we are proud to welcome our many friends and collectors from the USA, Asia, Europe and Australia.\r\nTorbreck has achieved a lot in less than three decades, but the journey is a long way from complete. In fact we remind ourselves every day that the best Barossa grapes are yet to be picked and the finest Torbreck wines are yet to be made. |
