Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz 2006

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.

Although this wine is constantly praised for being succulent and rich, perhaps the best features of Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz are its complexity and texture which are rarely found at this price.
