2012 Torbreck RunRig Shiraz Viognier, Barossa Valley

A top vintage for this wine. Dark-chocolate and mocha aromas predominate, and it's powerful, concentrated, full-bodied and very long on the palate. The texture is smooth and supple, fleshy and rich as plush. Power, focus, tremendous drive and length. Balance is good. A very stylish wine of good freshness and vitality.

The Highland clans used a “RunRig” system to distribute land amongst their clansmen in a series of widely dispersed holdings. 

The emphasis not on any one farm, but rather the communal element of the whole. Shiraz from old dry grown vineyards is blended with Viognier, complementing the strengths and complexities of these individual parcels of fruit, whilst giving the resulting wine a further dimension. 

The RunRig has often drawn comparison with the beautifully fragrant & tautly structured wines produced from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley’s Appellation of Côte Rôtie.
