| WOODCUTTER'S SHIRAZ 2020 Barossa Valley, South Australia |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TORBRECK |
| This is the 13th Vintages release yet and the highest scoring to date! Extremely deep intense purple ruby colour. Intense, very attractive, complex, spicy, ripe, black cherry-blueberry crumble nose with some faintly smoky, cedary notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, harmonious, well structured, intense, ripe, plummy, black cherry and cassis flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary, wonderfully harmonious, slightly smoky, complex finish. This very classy, mouthfilling, 100% Shiraz has 15% alcohol, 2 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 6.3 g/L total acidity with lot number G238203262033 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Unfiltered and aged for 12 months in well-seasoned French oak hogsheads and Foudre. The screwcap closure means that it can probably keep for another decade in a proper wine cellar. |

| TASTING NOTE: Shiraz sourced from the parishes of Marananga, Greenock, Seppeltsfield, Gomersal, Moppa, Lyndoch and Ebenezer. Matured 12 months in older French oak. Bright red purple in the glass and showing a ripe, pure core of juicy satsuma plum and red cherry with a splash of mulberry lift. Hints of exotic spice, purple flowers and earth wrap the opulent fruit with fine sandy tannin in support and just a hint of heat on the savoury exit. Drink by: 2027. Score - 91 (Dave Brooks, winecompanion.com.au, June 28, 2022) |
