TorbreckRunRig Shiraz 2001
About this product
Torbreck RunRig is a behemoth in the world of full-bodied Shiraz. Powerful fruit on the palate is deceptively disguised by wonderful perfume on the nose. Seamless texture with glorious balance and an honourable finish. Handcrafted by David Powell, the 2001 is a trademark RunRig with swathes of blue and black fruit enveloped in a palate that has a real velvet texture to it. Balanced fruit and oak tannin give structure to the wine that will sit in your cellar for well over a decade.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The youngest Run Rig, the 2001, should equal the 1998 as it is almost a clone aromatically, texturally, and flavor-wise, just much younger. This opaque purple-colored beauty should flirt with perfection over the next 10-15 years. Torbreck’s flagship wine, the Run Rig, is made from 40- to 120-year-old Shiraz vines with some co-fermented Viognier (usually around 3%), tips the scales between 14-15% alcohol, and is aged 30 months in French oak. In contrast to the way they taste upon release, neither the 1998 or 1997 Run Rig revealed any oak.
