AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Sourced from two cherished old vineyards planted in 1914 and 1932, this 2022 Shiraz reflects the depth and history of the Barossa Valley. Grown naturally on easterly slopes amidst fruit orchards and grain fields, the wine offers an evocative nose of blackberries, dark cherries, and violets, complemented by hints of anise, cedar, and earthy spices.

On the palate, this Shiraz is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with a core of ripe black fruits interwoven with mocha, licorice, and savory dried herbs. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity enhance its structure, leading to a long, seamless finish that showcases its refined complexity.

Crafted with care, the wine underwent a mix of whole berry and 25% whole bunch fermentation using natural vineyard yeast, before gentle basket pressing into seasoned French oak. Bottled unfiltered, this wine is an authentic expression of Barossa’s old-vine heritage, perfect for cellaring or immediate enjoyment.

Description

Torzi Matthews Winery

Nestled in the picturesque Barossa Valley, Torzi Matthews is a boutique winery renowned for its handcrafted wines that embody a perfect harmony between tradition and innovation. Established by the passionate and talented Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews, the winery draws on Italian heritage and a deep respect for the land to create exceptional wines with authenticity and a sense of place.

Torzi Matthews specializes in crafting cool-climate wines from their vineyards in the Eden Valley, a sub-region of the Barossa Valley known for its elevated terrain and cooler temperatures. This unique terroir lends itself to producing elegant, aromatic, and structured wines. The estate’s portfolio showcases a diverse range of varietals, including Shiraz, Riesling, and Nebbiolo, as well as distinctive fortified and dessert wines.

One of the winery’s standout features is its focus on minimal intervention winemaking. Traditional techniques, such as hand harvesting, wild yeast fermentation, and the use of natural sulfites, are paired with modern precision to ensure the purest expression of the fruit. A hallmark of their process is the use of dried grape techniques for their flagship “Frost Dodger” Shiraz, which adds a unique concentration and depth to the wine.

Beyond wine, Torzi Matthews embraces its Italian roots through its artisanal food products, including olive oils and cured meats, which reflect the same commitment to quality and authenticity as their wines.

Torzi Matthews is more than a winery; it’s an invitation to experience the essence of the Barossa Valley through thoughtful craftsmanship and genuine hospitality.
