The highly anticipated and fifth release of ‘The Laird’ is available to order from 1 May 2017.

From one of Australia’s best-known wineries comes an iconic Shiraz of international recognition. Meaning Lord of the Manor in Scottish terminology, The Laird represents the pinnacle of winemaking at Torbreck.

2012 has been acclaimed as the ‘winemaker’s vintage’ and one of the Barossa Valleys great vintages. 

The single vineyard wine is produced from five acres of rich clay soils and old vines on the Gnadenfrei vineyard, renowned for its unique and concentrated Shiraz.  

The fruit is hand selected in two separate parcels and then left on skins for six to seven days. The wine is further matured for three years in Dominique Laurent barriques, known as ‘magic casks’, and finally matured in the bottle for 24 months prior to release. 

“The resulting wine shows all the opulence and elegance of previous Laird’s, but with a complexity, precision and prominence that will make sure it ages gracefully for the next 20 years plus," Torbreck Senior Winemaker, Craig Isbel.

The Laird 2005 and 2008 received perfect 100 point scores from Wine Advocate.

RRP $750
Available in 750 mls, 1.5 litre, 3 litre, 6 litre, 18 litre and 27 litre.
