The Wine
From the start, the aim at the great Torbreck estate was to create top-quality Rhône-style wines, using the grapes of the Barossa. They work with the best growers, many of them multi-generational, who know each vine, the soil and climate and how they interact. It is this respect for nature and expressing it in their wines that makes them so revered.
