From our sommelier team

A powerful, old-vine Barossa Valley Shiraz built for long aging: dense black and blue fruit, dark chocolate, and savory spice sit over a firm, structured tannin frame, bottled unfined and unfiltered for maximum texture and character.

The Factor is sourced not from one vineyard but from a patchwork of old, low-yielding dry-grown Shiraz plantings across Barossa sub-districts including Marananga, Gomersal, Krondorf and Ebenezer — a blending philosophy, drawn from old-vine parcels rather than a single site, that is central to how Torbreck built its reputation.

Signature pairings

Grilled dry-aged ribeye — The wine's dense fruit, firm tannin structure and savory char/espresso notes are built to match the fat and char of a well-marbled grilled steak.
Braised short ribs — Slow-braised, richly sauced beef stands up to the wine's concentrated tannin and dark fruit without being overwhelmed.
Aged hard cheese (e.g. cheddar or gouda) — Firm, salty aged cheeses complement the wine's tannin and dark chocolate/espresso notes without clashing.

Torbreck's The Factor is a full-bodied Shiraz from Barossa Valley's premier terroir, showcasing the region's signature dark-fruit intensity and structural power. The wine opens with dominant blackberry and plum, supported by secondary oak, vanilla, and black pepper notes that reflect careful winemaking. A subtle smoke character and hints of chocolate add complexity and age-worthiness. Medium acidity and medium-high tannins provide structure without harshness, making this a sophisticated choice for fine dining and premium red-meat cuisine.
