Fullish to medium in weight, this assertive, warmer season wine reveals a wild, meaty and faintly spicy bouquet of fiery redcurrant, cranberry, blood plum and blackberry fruit backed by suggestions of dark chocolates, minerals and a hint of funkiness. It's powerfully flavoured, smooth and seamless, with a faintly raisined expression of fruit culminating in a soft finish and a lingering presence of blueberry and licorice.

Winery
Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son)
Dave Powell, founder of Torbreck, has re-entered Australian wine, this time with his son, Callum at his side. Since 2014 the company has focused on high-quality sites across both the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, retaining Dave Powell's dual focuses on Rhône Valley varieties as well as his well known intent to chase elegance, savoury finesse and structure. The new Powell & Son wines combine extraordinary depth of layered fruit, handsome oak and fine textures with the minerality and thoughtful composition associated with the finest wines of Dave Powell's previous existence. But Torbreck these wines are not – there's a distinctly different style here to what Torbreck became. I'm truly excited to get to know these compelling wines.
