Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2019
Trust your Taste
Dense black fruit, plum and boysenberry are layered with cocoa, vanilla and a cherry-liqueur note in this Barossa Shiraz. The texture is plush and mouth-filling, with concentrated tannins and a long, fresh finish. Try it with a rich meal when you want a generous, deeply flavoured red.
