DESCRIPTION
Torbreck The Forebear 2019 is a heritage single-vineyard Shiraz sourced from the old vines of the Hillside Vineyard (planted circa 1852). After an entirely manual harvest, the grapes were vinified by parcel, with long fermentations allowing for a progressive extraction, before being aged in new French oak barriques. The 2019 season, marked by strong spring winds and intense summer heat, reduced yields, fostering an exceptional concentration of aromas and tannins. It features 15.5% alcohol, pH 3.62, and 6.07 g/L total acidity. Cellaring potential of 30+ years.
On the nose, it reveals intense and refined aromas of red and black fruits (blackcurrant, red cherry, blackberry), lifted by complex notes of wild thyme, garrigue, graphite, and sandalwood. On the palate, it is ample and textured, with supple, round tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a long and elegant finish that combines power and finesse.
