Torbreck was established in 1994 from the resurrection of old vines vineyards that had fallen into disrepair on selected sites in The Barossa Valley. Twenty five years later Torbreck makes 19 different cuvées to continued acclaim, sourcing fruit from a number of old, some might say ancient, dry-farmed vines in vineyards. The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor, and Torbreck's The Factor is a tribute to what makes the Barossa truly special - those incredible old Shiraz vines and the dedicated growers who care for them vintage after vintage.
