DESCRIPTION
Torbreck RunRig 2020 is a blend composed of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier, inspired by the Côte-Rôtie style. It brings together grapes from six ancient, dry-grown vineyards (Lyndoch, Rowland Flat, Moppa, Ebenezer, Light Pass, and Greenock). Aging in French oak barriques (50% new, then second and third fill), with malolactic fermentation in barrel and fine lees contact, imparts depth, structure, and exceptional longevity to the wine. It features 15.5% alcohol, pH 3.50, and 5.69 g/L total acidity. Cellaring potential of 30+ years.
On the nose, it is dominated by ripe dark fruits, spices, cocoa, and graphite notes. On the palate, it is ample, structured, and lingering, supported by firm tannins and a balanced natural acidity. Pairs beautifully with a roasted leg of lamb with herbs or grilled dry-aged beef.
