Blackberries, Violets, Dark Chocolate, and Monumental Barossa Heritage

The 2022 Torbreck "RunRig" is a breathtaking Australian icon. Sourced from centenarian Barossa bush vines with a splash of Viognier, it unfolds deeply perfumed aromas of wild blackberries, dark chocolate, violets, porcini, and graphite. Full-bodied, seamless, and remarkably refined, it delivers lavish dark fruit supported by finely tuned architectural tannins and vibrant freshness, culminating in an extraordinary, multi-layered finish.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 98 pts
Robert Parker's WA 98 pts
  • 98 Points - James Suckling: A deeply perfumed and lifted release. Aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, violets, iodine, porcini mushrooms, fresh herbs and an earthy, ferrous undertone. The palate is full-bodied with finely tuned tannins and a luscious and seamless mouthfeel. There is much complexity and refinement, with a high level of fruit quality. Built for the ages. Drink or hold.
  • 98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2022 RunRig typifies everything I appreciate and value about the 2022 vintage. It is silky and open, seamless and fresh. Like the 2018 vintage, the 2022 is open and available, more so than the 2021. It is so pretty. It's gorgeous. I feel it could be stylistically likened to 2004. It's excellent. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Highlights

  • Torbreck’s flagship masterwork inspired by Côte-Rôtie, blending 98% old-vine Shiraz with 2% Viognier added after barrel maturation to elevate aromatic detail, silkiness, and lift.
  • Sourced from historic, low-yielding bush-trained vines (up to 160+ years old) spread across six prime sub-regions: Lyndoch, Rowland Flat, Moppa, Ebenezer, Light Pass, and Greenock.
  • Planted on ancient decomposed red clays, ironstone, and loams over limestone bedrock, delivering natural concentration, savory complexity, and structural tension.
  • Matured for roughly 30 months in French oak barriques (approx. 50% new) to achieve architectural density married to velvety, ductile tannin polish.
  • From the balanced, even 2022 Barossa harvest; remarkably expressive and open now, with effortless cellar longevity through 2045+.

Tasting Notes

Opaque, deep crimson with shimmering purple-black reflections, it opens with an intoxicating, multi-dimensional perfume of wild blackberries, dark plums, and black cherries, seamlessly layered with dark chocolate, dried violets, star anise, porcini mushroom, graphite, and an earthy, ferrous undertone. The palate is full-bodied, dense, and remarkably plush, framing immense fruit concentration with silty, ductile tannins and balanced natural acidity, concluding on an expansive, savory, and exceptionally persistent mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C in expansive Syrah or large Bordeaux stemware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 1 to 2 hours if enjoying in its youth to allow its dense fruit core, violets, and savory spice to unfold. Prime drinking window 2025 through 2045+.
