A blend of shiraz from a number of Torbreck's younger vineyards across the Barossa. Bright magenta/crimson, showing juicy satsuma plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with a liberal splash of blueberry. Hints of citrus blossom, five-spice, fruit-and-nut chocolate, charcuterie, a sprinkle of white pepper and olive tapenade. The solid '24 vintage presents excellent fruit purity and flow. Supple and full bodied. Cracking value to be had here.

The 2024 Woodcutter's Shiraz is juicy and fruit-driven, despite being structurally endowed and shapely as well. In the mouth, the wine is sweet and abundant in both flavor and weight, yet it retains a freshness and inherent drinkability that has founded and maintained its reputation over time. This is an impressive wine and excellent value for money. It speaks of both place—Barossa Valley—and variety in equal measure. 15.4% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

An effusive style, with a wild berry mix and touches of pomegranate and cranberry mingling with toasted green tea, bay leaf, smoked paprika and cumin accents. Green cardamom, fennel seed and clove notes emerge on the finish on a firm and juicy frame. Drink now through 2037. 30,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.
