Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2024

The Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2024 is an approachable and vibrant red wine that serves as an introduction to the prestigious Torbreck Vintners portfolio. Named after the founder's time as a lumberjack in Scotland, this vintage reflects the "up and coming" vineyards of the Barossa rather than the century-old vines used in the estate's flagship cuvées. The 2024 growing season featured a mild-to-warm summer that produced Shiraz with bright fragrance and powerful dark fruit characteristics. Following traditional methods, the fruit was hand-harvested, open-fermented, and basket-pressed before aging for 12 months in a combination of seasoned French oak barriques and large-format foudres. The resulting wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, offering a plush, velvety texture with a complex profile of black cherry, raspberry coulis, and Chinese five spice.
