Fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, then open fermented and gently basket pressed before ageing on fine lees for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels and foudres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead up to the 2024 harvest saw timely spring rainfall and calm conditions for flowering and fruit set. A mild to warm summer was idyllic, propelling even growth and fruit development. A warm early summer brought on Shiraz showing bright colours and fragrance, accelerating to powerful dark fruit and fragrantly spiced characteristics. A cooler break mid-April allowed fruit to develop deep colours and firm tannins.

It is known for its powerful and aromatic flagship RunRig Shiraz (from 120–160-year-old vines with a dash of Viognier) and The Laird, a single-vineyard Shiraz that is one of the most expensive wines made in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate produces around 15 wines based on Rhône varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Torbreck was founded in 1994 by David Powell with grapes obtained on a sharecropping basis. The name comes from a forest in Scotland where he once worked as a lumberjack, and many wines also carry Scottish-themed names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate has developed its own vineyard holdings but continues to source much of its fruit from selected growers throughout the Barossa Valley. Strong early ratings from The Wine Advocate brought international attention, including consistent annual scores of 95–99 points for RunRig and multiple 100-point vintages of The Laird. The chief winemaker is Ian Hongell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: 100% Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Barossa Valley \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Marananga, Greenock, Seppeltsfield, Gomersal, Moppa, Lyndoch, Ebenezer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Open fermented and basket pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 12 months in well-seasoned French oak hogsheads and Foudre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Hand-harvested and hand-tended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity TA: 6.00 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity pH: 3.60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Ian Hongell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2024–2034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736085393771,"sku":"SK33300394","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2024TorbreckWoodcutter_sShiraz750ml.png?v=1780389847"},{"product_id":"2023-torbreck-the-struie-barossa-shiraz-double-magnum-3l","title":"2023 Torbreck The Struie Barossa Shiraz 3L Double Magnum","description":"\u003ch4\u003e3000ml Magnum Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAwards, Ratings and Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatthew Jukes – 2023 Vintage\u003cbr\u003eScore: \u003cstrong\u003e99\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Experts will fall off their chairs while tasting this wine, while newcomers will feel spectacularly welcome. lt's a slice of eminently affordable luxury, and you'd be mad not to take advantage of it today.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling – 2023 Vintage\u003cbr\u003e“A lovely balance of Eden Valley spices and Barossa power and strength, with aromas of blackberries, graphite, olive tapenade, violets and purple fruit.

We looked longingly at the wine when it was returned to the Seppelts, knowing that it was the best we had ever made. In 2005 we convinced the Seppelts to sell Torbreck the fruit and The Laird was born. In 2013 Torbreck purchased the Gnadenfrei vineyard, securing The Laird’s reputation as one of the world’s great single vineyard Shiraz wines.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-4000a80-3 SkXCq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-4000a80-4 eUlVer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-0 hjxCEG\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"youchat-answer-turn-7\" class=\"sc-4000a80-6 cmZcXe\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-1 fooMhJ\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"youchat-text\" class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\"\u003eThe Descendant Vineyard is the crown jewel of Torbreck, located in the small yet vibrant hamlet of Marananga, which is nestled between Stonewell and Greenock and adjacent to Seppetlsfield. Marananga has become a sanctuary for producing some of the finest red wine in the Barossa Valley. Its unique terroir produces deeply coloured red wines that are renowned for their natural balance and formidable structure. The Descendant Vineyard is particularly special to Torbreck, as it was the original block of the estate and remains home to their winery and cellar door. The vineyard was established on a traditional mixed farm in 1993, and it has been producing exceptional grapes ever since. Planted with cuttings from ancient Barossa Shiraz vines that produce the iconic RunRig wine, the Descendant Vineyard is home to the true descendants of RunRig. Mataro, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne vines were later added, contributing to the vineyard's diverse range of varietals. In 2018, the vineyard even established a traditional bush vine Grenache vineyard, adding another important dimension to the vineyard's offerings. Marananga's terroir provides the Descendant Vineyard with great substance and energy, which results in grapes that are singular in their dimension. These grapes are so exceptional that they warrant single vineyard bottlings, something that Torbreck is immensely proud of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736138477931,"sku":"SK46123065","price":128.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2022_Torbreck_The_Descendant_Shiraz_-_Viognier_750ml.jpg?v=1767587921"},{"product_id":"2015-torbreck-runrig-shiraz-1-5l","title":"2015 Torbreck RunRig Shiraz 1.5L Magnum","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__middle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__short\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA name that needs very little introduction in the world of iconic Australian wine.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality.

The resulting wine has often drawn comparisons with the beautifully fragrant and tautly structured wines produced from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley's Appellation of Côte Rôtie.

On the palate, it offers a wonderful textural mouthfeel with soft, round tannins and cleansing acidity. This balance imparts a modern Barossa elegance, combined with the power derived from the extremely low-yielding vines. This wine honors its heritage and the 19th-century vision for grape growing and dry farming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eEnjoy this wine starting in 2026, and it can be cellared until 2050 or beyond.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality.

They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood.

Marananga has become a sanctuary for producing some of the finest red wine in the Barossa Valley. Its unique terroir produces deeply coloured red wines that are renowned for their natural balance and formidable structure. The Descendant Vineyard is particularly special to Torbreck, as it was the original block of the estate and remains home to their winery and cellar door. The vineyard was established on a traditional mixed farm in 1993, and it has been producing exceptional grapes ever since. Planted with cuttings from ancient Barossa Shiraz vines that produce the iconic RunRig wine, the Descendant Vineyard is home to the true descendants of RunRig. Mataro, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne vines were later added, contributing to the vineyard's diverse range of varietals. In 2018, the vineyard even established a traditional bush vine Grenache vineyard, adding another important dimension to the vineyard's offerings. Marananga's terroir provides the Descendant Vineyard with great substance and energy, which results in grapes that are singular in their dimension. These grapes are so exceptional that they warrant single vineyard bottlings, something that Torbreck is immensely proud of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Torbreck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-light-bold text-primary info-card__item-link-text text-underline\"\u003eSyrah - Viognier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e750mL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eState\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSouth Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barossa Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e2016\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlc\/Vol\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eCork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e2019-2035\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003eWine Sweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\" _ngcontent-rhd-c36=\"\"\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eDry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-header\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-header\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-header\"\u003eBold and aromatic, the wine showcases intense fruit aromas with hints of lavender and spice.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure, and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate, and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavours. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personalities. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland, where the winery's founder, David Powell, worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barrels for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736158499179,"sku":"SK13316627","price":499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2014_Torbreck_RunRig_Shiraz_750ml_755e8233-5aa1-4d09-8c20-7541fb42f9cf.png?v=1767588672"},{"product_id":"2023-torbreck-woodcutters-shiraz-750ml","title":"2023 Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eVineyard notes: \"Sub-Regions: Marananga, Greenock, Seppeltsfield, Gomersal, Moppa, Lyndoch, Ebenezer\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer tasting notes: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis wine reflects the up and coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines that make up the core of our other cuvées.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-4000a80-3 SkXCq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-4000a80-4 eUlVer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-0 hjxCEG\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"youchat-answer-turn-7\" class=\"sc-4000a80-6 cmZcXe\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-1 fooMhJ\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"youchat-text\" class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\"\u003eThe Descendant Vineyard is the crown jewel of Torbreck, located in the small yet vibrant hamlet of Marananga, which is nestled between Stonewell and Greenock and adjacent to Seppetlsfield. Marananga has become a sanctuary for producing some of the finest red wine in the Barossa Valley. Its unique terroir produces deeply coloured red wines that are renowned for their natural balance and formidable structure. The Descendant Vineyard is particularly special to Torbreck, as it was the original block of the estate and remains home to their winery and cellar door. The vineyard was established on a traditional mixed farm in 1993, and it has been producing exceptional grapes ever since. Planted with cuttings from ancient Barossa Shiraz vines that produce the iconic RunRig wine, the Descendant Vineyard is home to the true descendants of RunRig. Mataro, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne vines were later added, contributing to the vineyard's diverse range of varietals. In 2018, the vineyard even established a traditional bush vine Grenache vineyard, adding another important dimension to the vineyard's offerings. Marananga's terroir provides the Descendant Vineyard with great substance and energy, which results in grapes that are singular in their dimension. These grapes are so exceptional that they warrant single vineyard bottlings, something that Torbreck is immensely proud of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736199754091,"sku":"SK58218409","price":129.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2022_Torbreck_The_Descendant_Shiraz_-_Viognier_750ml_2ca75825-cd4e-48b7-be5b-23d172cb45f2.jpg?v=1767589600"},{"product_id":"2019-torbreck-the-laird-gift-box750ml","title":"2019 Torbreck The Laird Gift Box 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritics have scored this as one of the top 5 Australian wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard notes: \"Planted in 1958, the five acre vineyard is traditionally dry grown and comes from an original Barossa clonal source.

We looked longingly at the wine when it was returned to the Seppelts, knowing that it was the best we had ever made. In 2005 we convinced the Seppelts to sell Torbreck the fruit and The Laird was born. In 2013 Torbreck purchased the Gnadenfrei vineyard, securing The Laird’s reputation as one of the world’s great single vineyard Shiraz wines. Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland and you’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions.
