Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2021
Descripción
Woodcutter's Shiraz debe su nombre al fundador de la bodega, David Powell, que pasó varios años trabajando como leñador en los bosques de las tierras altas escocesas, en la zona de Torbreck. La variedad de uva con la que está elaborado es la más popular de Australia y fue introducida en 1832 por James Busby. Si te gustan los tintos con cuerpo y mucha fruta, este te encantará. Fresco, exuberante y con personalidad.

Lovely ripened blackberries and raspberries. Al dente. Full-bodied yet so refined and focused with crisp acidity and ultra-fine, creamy tannins. Succulent and crunchy but focused and structured. Bright and purposeful. Drink after 2024 but already hard to hold back. Screw cap.
Dense and chocolaty, this opens with classic blackberry, blood-plum and black-pepper characters. It's a big wine but not a hefty one. Savory, fine tannins are comparatively gentle, allowing the fruit flavor to shine. Balanced and focused, it offers drinkability now when paired with protein.
Ever the reliable wine in the Torbreck lineup (challenged only by the beauty of the Steading, but nevertheless), the Woodcutters has tightened up over time. My first introduction to it almost 10 years ago recalls a plush, full-bodied wine that delivered all the Barossa feels and flavors that one could possibly hope for. These days, and today specifically, the 2021 Woodcutter's Shiraz is tight and tense, with black brooding fruit set to a rigging of firm, savory tannins. The oak is subliminal in this wine, leaving only the tannins to shape the fruit. Really handled well. Impressive. (Erin Larkin)

Una shiraz de clima cálido que merece la pena probar.
Grata sorpresa este Syrah con nada menos que 15º y un cuerpazo a lo Elle Macpherson, Notable, sí señor.
Expected better to be honest
