รายละเอียดสินค้า
This single vineyard, located next to our winery block on Roennfeldt Road, was planted in 1994 with cuttings taken from our RunRig grower vineyards – some of the oldest genetic vine material in Australia.
When Torbreck co-fermented this “descendant” Shiraz with Viognier, it was a first in the Barossa – now we have been joined my many others, a testament to the success of this Rhone blend.
Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig, and the blend of fruit is then co-fermented. Maturation over 18 months is in barrels that have previously been used for RunRig.
The deep red clay soils in this vineyard produces fruit that has a glorious perfume, a savoury flavour and a satin-like texture.
Profile
พันธุ์องุ่นผสม (Grape Blended)
Shiraz, Viognier
รสสัมผัส (Palate)
Full-bodied, viscous, and incredibly plush. The texture is oily and slick (a characteristic contribution from the Viognier), coating the mouth with flavors of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and spiced plum. Despite the heat of the 2008 vintage, the wine
สี (Colour)
Deep, inky purple with a vibrant, glass-staining magenta rim.
กลิ่น (Aroma)
An intense and perfumed nose where the floral lift of Viognier—apricot blossom, musk, and ginger—intertwines with the brooding depth of the Shiraz. Notes of blackberry preserve, coal dust, roasted coffee, and licorice provide a dark, savory counterpoint.

เนื้อหาสินค้า
Winemaking
Descendant is sourced from the Descendant Vineyard, where Shiraz vines are grown from cuttings from RunRig vineyards and interplanted with rows of Viognier. The Shiraz is co-fermented with Viognier skins, intensifying aromatic lift and tannin integration. Fermentation takes place in open-top fermenters with extended maceration, followed by basket pressing. The wine is matured in second-use French oak barriques for 20 months, previously used for RunRig.
Bottled unfined and unfiltered, Descendant displays floral lift, plush fruit, and refined structure, mirroring a Northern Rhône-style approach.
