Torbreck Descendant 2019
這片單一葡萄園位於Roennfeldt Road上，毗鄰我們的酒莊區塊，於1994年種植，使用了我們RunRig種植者葡萄園的扦插苗 - 是澳大利亞最古老的遺傳葡萄材料之一。
西拉葡萄直接壓碎在維權妮葡萄上，這些葡萄已經為RunRig輕輕壓碎，然後混合水果進行共同發酵。20個月的陳年在之前用於RunRig的桶中進行。
儘管2015年冬季乾旱，但2016年1月和3月的降雨為老藤提供了新鮮感，並在之間提供了長時間的緩慢成熟期，從而產生了高品質的水果，使得這個年份格外出色。濃郁，芳香的水果中帶有底層的薰衣草和香料。濃郁的深色櫻桃和藍莓水果與白桃，香料和肉桂的微妙細微差異完美交織在一起。酒體飽滿，濃縮度高，但保持著柔軟細緻的單寧，這款優雅的酒具有無可挑剔的平衡。
在所有Torbreck葡萄酒中，Descendent需要耐心陳年。它的迷人特性可以在釋放時即可享受，只需稍微透氣幾個小時，但我們建議將其他酒瓶至少鎖存五年以上，以享受其全部潛力，並陳年至少15年以上。
This single vineyard, located next to our winery block on Roennfeldt Road, was planted in 1994 with cuttings taken from our RunRig grower vineyards – some of the oldest genetic vine material in Australia.
Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig, and the blend of fruit is then co-fermented. Maturation over 20 months is in barrels that have previously been used for RunRig.
Despite a dry winter during 2015, rains in January and March 2016, freshened the older vines and provided long, slow ripening periods in between, which led to a stand-out
vintage with high quality fruit.
Intense, perfumed fruits with an underlying layer of lavender and spice. Dense dark cherry and blueberry fruit is perfectly interwoven with subtle nuances of white peach, spice and
cinnamon. Full-bodied with great concentration, yet retaining soft supple tannins this suave wine has impeccable balance.
Of all the Torbreck wines the Descendent needs patient cellaring. Its immediate charm can be enjoyed upon release with just a few hours breathing, but we recommend locking the other bottles away for at least five years to enjoy its full potential, cellaring for the next 15 years plus.
