This wine marks the first appearance of the words “Eden Valley” on a Torbreck label. The Gask is sourced from a single plot of Shiraz nestled into the eastern slopes of Mt. McKenzie that is painstakingly nurtured by the Knight family. Planted in 1960 this elevated site yields small, intense berries that possess great intensity of flavour with sacrificing balance and poise. These berries give the wine an ‘Ink-like’ hue whilst the nose serves up notes of smoke, graphite, crushed rock and blackberry liqueur. It’s quite a heroic wine in style yet retains the cooler edge and tighter structure that the great wines made from this region are famed. ‘The rocky outcrops surrounding Greg & Cynthia Knight’s small plot of Shiraz in Eden Valley reminds me of the stone burial grounds on the hills above Torbreck forest’ David Powell After hand harvesting this small batch was destemmed into two cement vats where it spent seven days before being ‘gravity drained’ and basket pressed. The juice was later racked into old French barriques where it completed a slow malo-lactic fermentation and was aged for a total of 18 months. As with all Torbreck wines it was bottle without the use of fining or filtration.
