Origin and Heritage
From Torbreck’s Descendant Vineyard in Marananga, Barossa Valley, this single-vineyard Shiraz/Viognier blend pays homage to Rhône tradition while capturing Barossa’s signature power and grace. The vineyard was planted in 1994 with cuttings from the iconic RunRig vines.
Grape Composition and Maturation
Made from 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier, co-fermented and matured for 18 months in seasoned French oak barrels previously used for RunRig. The Viognier component adds aromatic lift and elegance.
Tasting Profile
Appearance: Deep opaque purple with a magenta hue
Nose: Wild blackberry, violets, lavender, apricot, herbs, clove, and candied orange peel
Palate: Full-bodied and layered with blackberry, blueberry, cassis, licorice, bacon fat, and spice. Fine tannins and vibrant acidity offer structure and length, with Viognier adding finesse and lift
Cellaring Potential
Now beautifully mature, this wine retains freshness and complexity. Originally intended for 3–15 years of aging, it continues to impress beyond two decades.
Food Pairing
Ideal with robust dishes like grilled lamb, game meats, or aged cheeses. Decanting enhances its aromatic depth and silky texture.
