The team at Torbreck prides itself on their close collaboration with the dedicated growers of Barossa, who provide the fruit for their wines. Their approach is one of patience, allowing the vineyards to reach peak physiological ripeness before harvesting at the optimal moment for expressing the unique qualities of each block. During winemaking, they take a gentle and restrained approach, minimising human intervention and wine movement to maintain the integrity of the fruit.

Their respect for the vineyards and the wine is evident in their decision not to fine or filter their wines and to allow for barrel maturation in specially acquired oak from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, a forest known for producing some of the finest oak and is allowed to progress naturally.

What the critics say:

96/100James Suckling

"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. "

91/100Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

"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. "
