Syrah/Shiraz
from Barossa Valley, Australia
winemaker's notes:
"Amazingly complex for its price, this lusty, appealing, hedonist’s dream is worth buying by the case..."
-Wine Advocate
"This practically screams syrah..."
-International Wine Cellar
The name Woodcutters stems from when David Powell spent several years working in the Scottish Highlands as a lumberjack or woodcutter in the Torbreck forest.
The Woodcutters Red, like all Torbreck wines, sources fruit from hand harvested and hand tended, low yielding vines. It is fermented and gently pressed, then aged for 12 months in large format seasoned barrels and foudres.
