Description
Torbreck's Woodcutter's Shiraz from the 2022 vintage is a Barossa Valley red that reaches for approachability without sacrifice. The fruit comes from multiple vineyard sites across the region, including Eden Valley, and the wine spent ten months in seasoned oak before bottling under screw cap.
This is a wine that tastes of earth and mineral alongside its dark fruit. You'll find red gravel and ironstone woven through the structure, supported by dense purple fruit that keeps things grounded and fresh. The tannins have a lovely spicy character, chewy and gripping enough to feel substantial without heaviness. There's real balance here, the kind that makes a wine feel both complete and inviting, ready to drink now or held for a few years. At 15% alcohol, it sits right where Barossa Shiraz should.

Expert Reviews
The 2022 Woodcutter's Shiraz is a brilliant entrée to Barossa Shiraz. It exhibits all the earthy, red gravel, ironstone characters that infuse the tannic structure, while fleshed out by dense, purple fruit. It has levity and balance and freshness too, which is ultimately what makes it a great wine. There's gorgeous splay of spicy tannins, chewy and a little grippy. Matured for 10 months in seasoned oak, "the 2023 is coming out of oak as we speak now," says winemaker Ian Hongell. The fruit for this wine cascades down from a number of different sources within the Barossa (including Eden Valley). It's very good. 15% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
