The Factor Shiraz - Torbreck

Torbreck's single varietal red wine The Factor Shiraz pays homage to the very old, gnarled bush Shiraz vines. This wine got its name thanks to a farm manager in the Highlands nicknamed "The Factor". 

The color of this wine shimmers a deep ruby red in the glass. The nose enjoys notes of blueberries and ripe plums - underpinned by hints of white pepper. The palate also reflects the aromas of the nose. The firm tannin framework perfectly encloses the dense texture. The long finish is accompanied by mineral and spicy nuances. 

Vinification of the Torbreck The Factor

According to the classic Barossa tradition, this Australian red wine is vinified: in its young years, this red wine is lush - in its old age, wonderfully ethereal. 

The harvest of the Shiraz grapes as well as the selection is done very carefully. In the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and the resulting mash is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Finally, this red wine rounds out for 24 months in French oak barriques. 

Food recommendation for the The Factor by Torbreck

Enjoy this dry red wine from Australia with spicy beef goulash with boiled potatoes, spicy stir-fry dishes with vegetables or with strong hard cheeses.
