The name Woodcutter's stems from David Powell's several years spent working the Scottish Highlands as a lumberjack in the Torbreck forest. Like all wines in the Torbreck stable, the fruit is sourced from hand harvested & hand tended plots throughout the Northwestern Barossa Valley. It is fermented in our cement, wooden & stainless steel vats for 6-7 days & then basket pressed to well seasoned hogsheads & French oak foudres for 12 months. It is bottled without the use of either fining or filtration. This wine reflects the up & coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines which make up the core of our other cuvees. Dense, rich & opulent, this wine combines great fruit purity with texture, complexity & finesse. It is elegant, structured & powerful & is a fantastic introduction to the Torbreck range. Whilst offering immense pleasure in its youth the 2010 Woodcutter's Shiraz will no doubt develop into an impressive wine with a few years in the cellar. Although this wine is constantly praised for being succulent & rich
- perhaps the best feature of this wine is it's complexity & texture which are rarely found at this price.
