Torbreck

Torbreck is an acclaimed Barossa Valley winery known for crafting bold, expressive wines that celebrate the rich heritage of Australia’s premier wine region. Founded in 1994 by David Powell, Torbreck is dedicated to showcasing the character of old-vine Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro (Mourvèdre) sourced from some of Barossa’s oldest vineyards, many of which date back over a century. This dedication to heritage vines and meticulous, hands-on viticulture has established Torbreck as one of Australia’s leading producers of premium Rhône-style wines.

Torbreck’s wines are marked by their powerful yet elegant profiles, with rich fruit, layered complexity, and a remarkable depth. The estate’s flagship wine, The Laird, is one of the most celebrated expressions of Barossa Shiraz, renowned for its opulent texture, structure, and exceptional aging potential. Other standout wines, including RunRig, The Struie, and Woodcutter’s Shiraz, offer distinct interpretations of Barossa terroir, each crafted to showcase purity, balance, and finesse.

Ideal for collectors and lovers of robust, complex wines, Torbreck’s collection is a testament to the Barossa Valley’s unique climate and soils, as well as the winery’s commitment to honouring the legacy of Australia’s iconic varietals.
