Our homage to the great old vines of the Barossa Valley, this wine is composed of 100% Shiraz. From some of the oldest, most revered vineyards in the Barossa Complex and concentrated, the wine is cloaked in velvet tannins that will continue to develop for another 10 years at least. The Factor is all that you would expect of a pureblood Barossa Shiraz. ‘The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor. Having spent two years in predominantly older oak, this wine manages to express true Barossa Shiraz character’ David Powell
*What the critics think*
2005 – “It’s good. It’s enormously drinkable; it’s decadent, rich, like licorice, like sugar toasted on a bed of mashed blackberries. There are flavours of twigs and camphor and bright blossomy raspberries – there’s just a lot of flavour, full stop. If you want to drink a luxurious wine tonight, and you have a lot of dosh to spare; this is guaranteed to deliver. All depends on what you’re into. Nice tannin structure too it has to be said. 94 points. Campbell Mattinson
The 2005 The Factor is 100% Shiraz sourced from dry grown vines from six sub-regions of the Barossa. It spent 24 months in 30% new French oak. Opaque purple-coloured, it delivers an expressive bouquet of pepper, smoke, espresso roast, blackberry, blueberry and licorice. Full-bodied and voluptuous on the palate, nuances of saddle leather and mineral emerge to complement the layers of spicy blue and black fruits. The wine is beautifully integrated with enough well-concealed tannin to keep this wine evolving for a decade. The pure finish lingers for 60+ seconds to complete the experience of a totally hedonistic turn-on. Torbreck, under the leadership of owner/winemaker David Powell, remains a Barossa Valley benchmark as well as one of the world’s greatest wine estates. The top cuvees are limited production and expensive but…..Rating 97 points Dr Jay Miller – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – October 2007
2004 - “Deep red purple; rich, multi-layered palate both in texture and flavour terms; silky black fruits, super-fine tannins and a long harmonious finish. Rating 96 points James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion - 2008
2004 – “Made from 100% Shiraz that spent 24 months in French oak (30% new), the exuberant, flamboyant 2004 The Factor offers up gorgeously pure blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with smoke, bacon fat, camphor, and graphite. Silky smooth, and, as David Powell says, “the most Barossa-like” of all his wines, it represents Powell’s rendition of a Cote Rotie. It can be drunk over the next 15-20 years.” Rating: 97 points Wine Advocate #167 Oct 2006
