Exceptional Langtons Classification. From vines up to 140 years of age, planted to the most distinguished sites at Marananga and Moppa, Gomersal and Ebenezer, Greenock and Kalimna. A flagship wine of phenomenal density, a remarkable port like concentration, fashioned from parcels of the most invaluable Shiraz, compounding the wine's irrepressible bouquets and epic palate. The intensity of flavour hits the mouth like a gale, releasing a multitude of layers and complexities that continuously resonate and evolve.
An exclusively Shiraz wine, treated to a luxurious extended maturation under a selection of the finest French oak. Yields at the superlative little blocks of vine, are often a minuscule single tonne to the acre, ensuring very tiny amounts of RunRig are ever made. Each of eight parcels are gently de stemmed into a selection of traditional wooden and concrete, open top fermenters, for a week of warm temperature vinification on skins. After passing through an old fashioned basket press, batches are run directly into a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for thirty months maturation and a course of racking. A component of Viognier is included in the final assemblage. Alcohol 15.0%
TASTING NOTES
Dense dark red colour. Waves of raspberries, apricots and crème de cassis cloaking subtle hints of black olive and cherry. A dark, rich and concentrated palate flows from black fruits into brooding anise and dark chocolate, all bound by tight, grainy tannin. Although extremely intense, the wines power is cloaked within its balance and concentration, surging forth as an expansive sensation, the way only the greatest wines can.

Low yielding, old and dry grown Barossa Valley vineyards are the cornerstone of Torbreck Vintners
Torbreck founder David Powell was immersed in the study of Economics at Adelaide University, when an uncle introduced him to wine. Young Dave realized that grapes could be more intriguing than numbers. He began spending more and more of his spare time in the Barossa Valley and during the winters, he availed himself of the opportunity to venture overseas to work harvests in California and Italy. He travelled throughout the famous wine regions of Europe and even spent time in Scotland as a lumberjack. This experience was instrumental in illuminating the unique attributes of the Barossa, at a time when others felt its heritage was past the sell by date. Torbreck»
