Torbreck Descendant 2022

The 2022 Torbreck Descendant Shiraz is a powerful yet refined wine born from one of the Barossa Valley’s most respected single-vineyard sites. Located on Roennfeldt Road next to the Torbreck winery, this vineyard was planted in 1994 with cuttings taken from the famed RunRig vineyards. These cuttings represent some of the oldest genetic vine material in Australia, lending a distinct lineage and exceptional quality to this wine. The 2022 vintage, with its cool growing conditions and slower ripening process, allowed for the development of wines with higher acidity, rich colour, and fine tannins—characteristics that will allow this wine to evolve beautifully with age.

Crafted through co-fermentation of Shiraz and Viognier, this wine continues the legacy of the original RunRig blend and features subtle yet intricate layers of fruit, spice, and texture. With 20 months of maturation in second-use French oak barriques previously used for RunRig, this wine delivers the signature depth and structure of Torbreck, balanced by a velvety, creamy texture that will reward both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring.

Best enjoyed from 2025 to 2044.
Pairs perfectly with forest game, lamb, truffles, or mushroom dishes.
