2022 Torbreck The Gask Shiraz 750ml

The name Gask references to the stone burial grounds on the hills above the Torbreck forest – rocky outcrops that are scattered throughout Scotland – eerily similar to the landscape of the Eden Valley. The Gask is sourced from elevated  Eden Valley sites of old vine Shiraz and takes its name from the Gask Ridge, a series of Roman fortifications close to the highland line near the Torbreck Forest The elevated sites in Eden Valley yield small, intense berries that possess great intensity of flavour without sacrificing balance and poise. Heroic in style, it still retains the cooler edge and tighter structure that make the great wines from Eden Valley famous. The Torbreck The Gask Shiraz 2022 is a real crowd-pleaser. Think juicy plums and blackberries, a hint of spice, and a smooth, velvety texture. It's the kind of red you can happily sip on its own or pair with a hearty meal. Style: Red Wine Variety: Shiraz Region: Eden Valley Cellaring: Enjoy now or cellar 10 to 12 years. Nose: Deep crimson with dark Aubergine core. Blue and purple fruits are immediate on the nose with aromas such as wild blueberries, mulberries and boysenberries. Palate: The palate is plush and envelopes the cool blue fruit flavours alongside soft round tannins and lengthy acidity that rounds out the polished textural mouthfeel.
