WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2022 is made from 100% Shiraz grapes sourced from younger vineyard sites across the Barossa Valley. The grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation occurs over 6-7 days in a mix of cement, wooden, and stainless steel vats, followed by basket pressing. The wine is then aged for 12 months in well-seasoned French oak hogsheads and foudres, and matured on fine lees. It is bottled without fining or filtration.
