Founded by David Powell in 1994 and named after the Scottish forest in which he was once a woodcutter, Torbreck has become one of the archetypal Barossa wineries. The Factor is a single variety Shiraz, from six different Barossa subregions, including own-rooted centurian vines, made in a rich, Rhone-inspired style with 24 months in French oak (30% new). This 2005, now two decades old, has settled into a classic aged Barossa character. blackberry jam, cigar tobacco, bonfire smoke and dried herbs, with fine, resolved tannins and impressive length. Full-bodied at 14.5% alcohol, it shows no sign of fading and is drinking beautifully now. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, venison or a good hard cheese.
