Torbreck was established in 1994 and is located at Marananga on the western ridge of the Barossa Valley in South Australia. It was named by its founder, David Powell, after a forest situated in the Highlands of Scotland. Torbreck’s first wines were released in 1997, most notably the flagship 1995 Runrig (Shiraz/Viognier) and have accrued local and international acclaim since its debut. The winery was named one of the World's Top 100 Wine Estates by Robert Parker. Today production is overseen by Senior Winemaker Craig Isbel and his team. The overwhelming majority of their vines are dry-grown, nearly all are 100 - 165 years old and are tended and harvested by hand. The wines have an extraordinary combination of power, intensity, complexity and great finesse.
