Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles 2017 … Reveals unoaked Freshness with loads of appeal. This is your summer red.

This blend of 61% Grenache, 28% Mataro (Mourvedre) and 11% Shiraz has Barossa stamped all over it whilst, at the same time inspired by the wines of Frances Cote du Rhone region. More commonly referred to as a GMS this medium bodied wine is sourced from 40–150-year-old vines from various vineyards in and around Barossa.  Despite seeing no oak, this wine has impressive body and structure and is way too easy to drink and over delivers to the last drop.

From its aromas dominated by red fruits, blackberries and spices to the silky-smooth palate of mouthfuls of cherries, rhubarb, strawberries, tangerine peel, a potpourri of cooking herbs and spices with just a hint of blueberries to round things out. This really is a delight to drink from start to finish with enough finesse and appeal to keep any wine drinker satisfied. Give it an hour decanting and it will drink even better. Cellar to 2025.

I'm a firm believer in the simple believe of good friends, good food and good wine! I also believe you don't need an event to open a great bottle of wine, the opening of a great bottle of wine is the event.
