Torbreck RunRig Shiraz is a standout of the Barossa Valley, recognised as a 1st Classified (First Growth) in Langton’s classification, with the 2016 earning a rare 100-point score. When Liv-ex reimagined the 1855 Bordeaux classification for the world’s finest wines, RunRig joined only two other Australian icons—Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace—among the global greats. With a blend of rarity, prestige, and impressive aging potential, the 2016 vintage offer collectors and investors a more affordable Australia icon, with a legacy that's set to strengthens over time.

Critic reviews

What the experts say about this wine 👇

A blend of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier made just prior to bottling, the 2016 RunRig is a complete masterpiece. It kicks off with elegant notes of pencil shavings accenting blueberries and blackberries on the nose, then shows incredible, palate-staining intensity of fruit in the mouth. It's full-bodied, plush and velvety without being unstructured and manages to be fruit-forward yet savory on the long-lasting finish, where it picks up hints of mocha and black olives. This should be drinkable with pleasure throughout its entire two-decade life (it may live longer from cold cellars or in larger formats), but if I were lucky enough to have a bottle or two, I'd try the first one about 10 years out. Drink 2019-2035.

Restrained and elegant, opening up with ripe black and red fruit flavours. Touches of black licorice and black walnut liqueur plump up the sense of concentration. The tannins are dense but polished, never getting in the way of the harmony. Elements of clove and tobacco emerge on the finish. Shiraz and Viognier. Drink now through 2039.
