Torbreck The Factor 2006 is a Shiraz from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Torbreck is an iconic and highly-acclaimed name in the region, known for its powerful, concentrated wines. The 2006 vintage was a classic year in Barossa, producing wines with great concentration and structure. This bottling, sourced from a single, high-elevation vineyard with ancient vines, presents an evolved bouquet of dark plum, black cherry and dark chocolate, with tertiary notes of leather and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with a dense, silky texture and a fresh acidity that provides balance to its ripe tannins, making it a wine with significant ageing potential.
