The Factor Shiraz 2021 from Torbreck is a wine that pays tribute to the Barossa Valley’s heritage and its unparalleled legacy of exceptional old Shiraz vineyards. This wine honours the growers and generations of careful cultivation that have shaped the region's reputation as one of Australia’s premier wine-growing areas. Many of these vineyards were planted in the 19th century, and due to South Australia's visionary quarantine policy, they remain unaffected by the phylloxera outbreak that decimated vines around the world in the 1880s. Today, these vines continue to flourish, thriving on their own roots as living relics of the past. The Factor represents the epitome of Barossa’s bold and expressive Shiraz, crafted with a blend of fruit from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions, which are renowned for producing deeply aromatic and richly textured wines.
In 2021, a mild summer with cool temperatures allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, creating a vintage marked by balanced acidity, vibrant colour, and remarkable aromatics. A wine of great depth and intensity, The Factor is a masterful blend of fruit and oak, presenting a complex profile of black fruits, cocoa, and spice, while maintaining a finesse and elegance that will continue to evolve over decades.
