Tasting notes

Ever the reliable wine in the Torbreck lineup (challenged only by the beauty of the Steading, but nevertheless), the Woodcutters has tightened up over time. My first introduction to it almost 10 years ago recalls a plush, full-bodied wine that delivered all the Barossa feels and flavors that one could possibly hope for. These days, and today specifically, the 2021 Woodcutter's Shiraz is tight and tense, with black brooding fruit set to a rigging of firm, savory tannins. The oak is subliminal in this wine, leaving only the tannins to shape the fruit. Really handled well. Impressive.

About this wine

Torbreck is a renowned winery located in the Barossa Valley, Australia. The winery was founded in 1994 by David Powell, who had a passion for making wines that reflected the unique terroir of the region. The Woodcutter's Shiraz is one of the most popular wines produced by Torbreck.

The Woodcutter's Shiraz is made from grapes grown in the Barossa Valley, which is known for its warm climate and rich soils. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used in the wine. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, which gives it a rich and complex flavour.

The Woodcutter's Shiraz is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby colour. It has aromas of blackberry, plum, and spice, with hints of vanilla and oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and full, with flavours of blackberry, cherry, and chocolate. The tannins are firm and well-structured, giving the wine a long and satisfying finish.

Overall, the Woodcutter's Shiraz is a classic example of a Barossa Valley Shiraz. It is a wine that is rich, full-bodied, and complex, with a long and satisfying finish. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but will also age well for many years to come. Whether you are looking for a special occasion wine or just a great bottle to enjoy with friends, the Woodcutter's Shiraz is sure to please.
