Many critics score this Barossa Valley wine highly: The Wine Advocate gave the 2020 vintage a score of 96.
Critic tasting note: (2019 vintage) “Plush heady notes of plum, currant and licorice open this powerful and polished Shiraz. There’re also hefty helpings of savory, peppery spice. The palate is cinched by massive, drying, spicy tannins amid the silky fruit. A plate of protein is a requirement if drinking now, but this really needs a few yearsfrom 2035 onwardsin cellar before opening to soften those tannins. Then it could age gracefully for a decade beyond that. Christina Pickard” -92/100,Wine Enthusiast
The Factor pays homage to the Barossas unique point of difference ?great old Shiraz vineyards and the growers who painstakingly tend and nurture them each year.
Many of these vineyards were planted in the 19th century and because of South Australias far-sighted quarantine policy, were not affected by the phylloxera outbreak that ravaged the vineyards of the world in the 1880s. They survive on their own roots more than a century later as clonal time capsules.
The reputation of the Barossa as the pre-eminent red wine growing region of Australia rests firmly on wines such as this.
Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland and youll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions. The managerona highland estate is referred to as The Factor.
