Our vision is to pay homage to the vineyards of the Barossa Valley, home to some of the oldest vines on the planet.

About us

SINCE 1994 TORBRECK HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO CREATING EXCEPTIONAL RHONE STYLE RED AND WHITE WINES REFLECTING THE VERY BEST VINEYARDS IN AUSTRALIA’S FAMOUS BAROSSA. Provenance is everything to us. We believe the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world, with its gentle Mediterranean climate and 175 years of Silesian and English commitment to winemaking and grape-growing. There is a European sense of tradition here that means vines planted in the 1840s – many of them Rhone varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvédre – still thrive and bear fruit of unique concentration and flavour. Torbreck pays tribute to these vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck’s winemaking aspirations. Without their knowledge of the seasons and the soil, we would not have such a precious resource of fruit to work with. Torbreck has also been fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in the protection of some of the Barossa’s most precious vineyards, after accepting fruit from them over many years. The historic Hillside Vineyard at Lyndoch, The Laird Vineyard in the sub-region of Marananga and the Greenock Keller Vineyard owned by the Schultz family, are all now under the custodianship of Torbreck. In 2008 this long-term commitment to the Barossa was cemented when we completed our winery and bottling line, enabling us to achieve maximum quality control through 100% estate vinification, maturation and packaging. Our latest development was the 2017 expansion of our original settler’s cottage cellar door to become an international guest centre, where we are proud to welcome our many friends and collectors from the USA, Asia, Europe and Australia. Torbreck has achieved a lot in less than three decades, but the journey is a long way from complete.

    Torbreck are pleased to announce the oficial opening of Hillside Vineyard, our newly restored vineyard estate in the southen Barossa Valley. With the heritage-listed 1860's winery buildings sensitively renovated into private event, tour, accommodation and tasting spaces, we are excited to begin offering a range of exclusive experiences for our Torbreck Wine Club members and invited guests. With such significant heritage considerations, we're thankful for the guidance and heritage tourism design by S2 Architects, as well as partnering with Structural Group Australia, Barossa Landscapes, Pete Thornton and Mister Lincoln Co Pty Ltd.

  • We are pleased to release the new 2021 vintage of RunRig. Shiraz from old, dry-grown Barossa Valley vineyards is blended with Viognier, complementing the strengths and complexities of these individual parcels of fruit, while giving the resulting wine a further dimension. Dense, firm and powerful, 2021 RunRig is a wine for the cellar. Available now from fine wine retailers, quality restaurants, and Torbreck Cellar Door. Learn more at torbreck.com/pages/runrig

  • Torbreck's 2016 Hillside Vineyard Grenache was recently included in the London Wine Fair ‘Judgement of London’ Tasting - a tasting pitting Old World v New World wines, with 21 invited MW’s & MS’s as judges – a replay of the famous 1976 ‘Judgement of Paris’ Tasting. While the 'Old World' wines just won the day, we're proud to see Hillside Vineyard Grenache chosen as the benchmark of 'New World' Grenache for this prestigious tasting. Read more about the tasting at https://lnkd.in/guRavzb6 And more about Hillside Vineyard Grenache at www.torbreck.com

  • For the first time, we are pleased to welcome a new wine, The Forebear, to join The Laird at the pinnacle of Torbreck's Barossa wine portfolio. The inaugural 2019 vintage of The Forebear, a single vineyard shiraz from an 1850s planted vineyard on our Hillside Vineyard estate in the southern Barossa Valley, rightfully holds its place with The Laird in Torbreck's pursuit of single-site wines of significance and pedigree. Learn more about the newly released 2019 vintages of both The Forebear and The Laird at www.torbreck.com.
