About The Wine
"Typically, this is extraordinary value." Mike Bennie once wrote on the Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz, and the 2020 is again absolutely bang on, if a touch cooler and lighter than previous releases.
This is right in the sweet-spot for the Barossa/Eden Valley lover. It's ripe but balanced, the focus on the luscious fruit the region is famous for rather than oak.
Chocolate, plums, a svelte carpet of moreish tannin, it's just spot on for your weekday Shiraz.
About Torzi Matthews
Phillip White called Torzi Matthews 'Australia's Best Bargain Winemaker' with good reason. The wines from Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews are some of the best buys in the Barossa Valley.
Alongside their excellent range of 'classic' Barossa Shiraz and Eden valley Riesling, they makes a small amount of fascinating Italian variety wines, inspired by their Italian heritage.
At every price point these wines massively overdeliver, and are simply a must-buy for any lover of honest, delicious Barossan wines.

Critic Reviews
Seem to have missed a 2019 vintage, though maybe there never was one. Anyway, most often I like to drop a cube of ice into my red wine before drinking. Cools it nicely and kind of enhances the flavour. Intense and packed with flavour. Ripe dark cherry, dark fruit cake and spice, a little violet and dried mint. It’s full-bodied, beefy and spicy, fine chalky tannin, dark chocolate and cherry, with a pretty long ripe finish. Very elemental as at now, with heaps of stuffing, and good potential - Gary Walsh.
