Tasting Notes

Torbreck RunRig Shiraz 2010 is an iconic Australian Rhône-inspired red wine, crafted from ancient, dry-grown Shiraz vines in South Australia’s renowned Barossa Valley. Named after the traditional Scottish land system, RunRig reflects David Powell’s vision of creating powerful, age-worthy wines that celebrate the region’s exceptional old-vine heritage.

Deep, concentrated and remarkably refined, the 2010 vintage reveals layers of ripe blackberry, dark plum, black cherry and dark chocolate, complemented by cracked pepper, savoury spice and subtle earthy complexity. Velvety tannins provide structure and balance, while impressive depth and exceptional length define this distinguished Barossa Shiraz.

A serious collector’s wine with excellent cellaring potential, Torbreck RunRig 2010 is a benchmark expression of old-vine Barossa Shiraz. Sourced from a premium private cellar, it pairs beautifully with premium steak, slow-cooked beef, roasted lamb and richly flavoured game.

Critic Scores

The 2010 RunRig is superb and gracious. Powerful but finely wrought tannins support supremely elegant fruit. There are notes of sumac and cocoa, mulberry, pressed flowers and clove. This is fresh, harmonious and seamless, in line with the characters of 2004, 2002, 1998 and 1996. It's a massive wine, but it's balanced; and the alcohol is surprisingly not a thing—despite being very much of a thing analytically. 16% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

A perplexing wine to evaluate, the 2010 RunRigShiraz andViognier) evolves rapidly once poured, going from slightly stewed and overoaked to a wine that shows considerable class within 20 minutes or so. Aromas and flavors of brown sugar, mocha and roasted meat give way to raspberry compote, while the creamy texture and supple tannins conceal the wine's high alcohol level with ease.

About this Wine

Shiraz Blend

A red wine blend built around Shiraz, often combined with varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon or Grenache.

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
