Torbreck Descendant Shiraz 2017
93% Shiraz, 7% Viognier Co-fermented750ml
PROFILEThis single vineyard, located next to our winery block on Roennfeldt Road, was planted in 1994 with cuttings taken from our RunRig grower vineyards - some of the oldest genetic vine material in Australia.
Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig, and the blend of fruit is then co-fermented. Maturation over 20 months is in barrels that have previously been used for RunRig.
TASTING NOTESIntense, perfumed fruits with an underlying layer of lavender and spice. Dense dark cherry and blueberry fruit is perfectly interwoven with subtle nuances of spice and cinnamon. Full-bodied with great concentration, yet retaining firm yet supple tannins this suave wine has impeccable balance. Descendant will reward you with its immediate charm and can be enjoyed upon release with just a few hours breathing, however, we recommend locking the other bottles away for 5+ years to enjoy its further potential, or better still cellaring for the next 15 years plus.
Colour: Dark blood red/garnet
Nose: Lifted floral, and perfumed notes intermingle with aromas of red and black fruits such as plum, blackberry and mulberry.
Palate: The tannins and balance strike you immediately. The viognier skins providing the extra tannin grip and firmer structure, ready for cellaring FOOD PAIRING NOTESPowerful and aromatic, can be paired with roasted venison or chargrilled grilled aged beef. Liquor Act
