Torbreck The Gask Eden Valley Shiraz

The name Gask references to the stone burial grounds on the hills above the Torbreck forest - rocky outcrops that are scattered throughout Scotland - eerily similar to the landscape of the Eden Valley. The elevated sites in Eden Valley yield small, intense berries that possess great intensity of flavour without sacrificing balance and poise. Heroic in style, it still retains the cooler edge and tighter structure that make the great wines from Eden Valley famous. Deep crimson with dark Aubergine core. Blue and purple fruits are immediate on the nose with aromas such as wild blueberries, mulberries and boysenberries. Theres an intriguing graphite and granite like minerality interwoven across secondary notes such as potpourri, cedar and sandalwood. The palate is plush and envelopes the cool blue fruit flavours alongside soft round tannins and lengthy acidity that rounds out the polished textural mouthfeel. A wine that is so easy to enjoy in its youth but will cellar for 10 years. Enjoy with BBQ meats like rib eye or grilled Italian sausage with peperonata. Ready from 2024. Serve at 16C/60F.
