Torbreck RunRig Shiraz Viognier

Barossa Valley, Australia

Australia's benchmark Shiraz-Viognier co-fermentation — inspired by Côte-Rôtie, produced from century-old dry-farmed Barossa Shiraz with 2-3% Viognier co-fermented in open vats. The Viognier co-fermentation adds perfume, lifted fruit, and tannin stability. Dark chocolate, black plum, violets, licorice, and a signature floral lift from Viognier. One of Australia's most collected wines; consistently 98-100 points. Allocated globally.
