Inspired by the great wines of the Northern Rhône with a blend of 98% Shiraz and a touch of Viognier, Torbreck Runrig easily stands amongst the top echelons of Australian Barossan Shiraz. This Aussie superstar is often described as both elegant and powerful, in Robert Parker’s (Wine Advocate) words, “combining the old vine ripe fruit of Barossa with a European sensitivity to elegance and balance”. The Runrig 2017 was awarded a massive 98 points courtesy of the Wine Advocate.
As usual, the 2017 RunRig is approximately 2% Viognier. It spent almost 30 months in oak, 40% of which was new. Hints of peach or apricot appear on the nose, alongside notes of hickory smoke, cherries and baking spices. It's full-bodied and concentrated but supple and silky enough to seem lighter in the mouth, showing tremendous length and elegance on the finish, where it adds nuances of cinnamon and cocoa.

Inky ruby color. Expansive aromas of dark fruit liqueur, incense, candied flowers, Indian spices and vanilla. Has a smoky mineral quality that gains strength as the wine opens up. Fleshy, sweet and broad on the palate, offering impressively concentrated yet lively blackcurrant, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors that are lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Smooth, seamless and appealingly sweet on an extremely long, floral-dominated finish that"s framed by suave, well-knit tannins.
