Torbreck Runrig Shiraz

Torbreck Runrig Shiraz, 2018, 750ml

PROFILE
The Highland clans used a 'RunRig' system to distribute land amongst their clansmen in a series of widely dispersed holdings. The emphasis was not on any one farm but rather the communal element of the whole. Shiraz from old dry grown vineyards is blended with Viognier, complementing the strengths and complexities of these individual parcels of fruit, whilst giving the resulting wine a further dimension.

TASTING NOTES
Complex and lifted aromatics of dense black fruits such as blackberries, satsuma plum and black cherry complimented with dark chocolate, cacao been and liquorice. The opulent mouthfeel, liveliness, and vibrancy is a real standout on a plush and velvety textured palate structure. The complex layers and fruit characters continue to evolve in the glass with firm but drying tannins seamlessly balanced with long acid and statuesque posture and length

Colour Opaque, almost black red.
Nose Powerful and impressive lifted black fruits of blackberry, plum and cherry with underlying dark chocolate complex undertones and spice.
Palate Full bodied, intense, firm, and long. The tannins are impressive as is the depth and balance that will live on for decades. An impressive RunRig vintage and wine.
