The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor. The Factor is our homage to the great old Shiraz vines of the Barossa Valley and the growers who painstakingly tend and nurture them each year. Grapes predominantly from the Gomersal and kalimna sub-regions of the Barossa providing real texture and richness to the palate

The vision is to Torbreck Vintners, which was founded in 1994, was born out of a desire to create some of the greatest wines in the world by using the incredibly old, dry-grown, Shiraz vineyards that surround the Barossa Valley. Securing these vineyards initially involved share-farming the property, a practice which involves paying the owner a percentage of the market rate for their grapes in return for managing the vineyard. It was this share-farming principle, together with their selection of some of the most highly prized vineyards, that formed the founding pillars of Torbreck’s incredible international success.
