Description

Dom Torzi sure knows how to give a lot of bang for buck when it comes to his range of wines.

The Francesca Grillo OV Grenache is an old vine Grenache from the Barossa, lovingly named in honour of his mum. The grapes get hand picked from the 108 year old vines, then fermented in open milk vats (with 20% whole bunches) before being basket pressed to old Chardonnay barrels before bottling.

It comes out as a juicy number full of red berries and cherry, with lifted aromatics and fine tannins. Delightful, and extreme value for money.

94+ Points
"so fresh and bright, gentle stony tannin, clarity and cool ‘mineral’ feel, a dried herb perfume, sugared almonds, orange zest, and super length. Delightful!"
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

94+ Points - "Raspberry, red cherry, a little charcuterie, pepper, dried roses and a twist of orange peel. It’s medium-bodied, so fresh and bright, gentle stony tannin, clarity and cool ‘mineral’ feel, a dried herb perfume, sugared almonds, orange zest, and super length. Delightful!" - 94+ points, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

93 Points - "There is something almost Pinot-like in this beaut soft and smooth drinking red wine. Whole bunch naturally fermented and basket pressing has resulted in a wine that displays bright perfumes dominated by juicy cherry aromas. The typical rose petal Grenache characters merge. The tannins are so soft, contributing to a slick and smooth velvety palate. There is a purity about this that seems to provide a direct link from vine to palate." - Ray Jordan (Wine Pilot)

A Grenache bearing my mothers name that expresses her softly spoken manners in a style she orchestrated me to vinifi for her via her upbringing of a natural progression of zero sulfite dosage.

The nose is wonderfully perfumed of bright raspberry red fruits and cherry. Delicious juicy palate that carries over from the aromas with rose petal wonders. Finishes long with lovely fine velvet tannins – just wonderful drinking!

Torzi Matthews

Some years back, noted Australian wine writer Philip White called Domenic Torzi 'Australia's Best Bargain Winemaker'. Today, that statement still could not be more accurate.

The wines from Dom Torzi and Tracy Matthews are some of the best buys in the Barossa Valley and the country. Alongside their excellent classic range of old vine Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling, they make a small amount of fascinating Italian variety wines, inspired by their Italian heritage.

At every price point, these wines hugely and consistently overdeliver and are simply a must-buy for any lover of honest, delicious Barossan wines.

"You’d have to put Dom Torzi’s Torzi Matthews wines into the ‘some of best value/most consistent wines in the country’ list, right near the shiny top. A touch of magic. An eye on drinkability. Considered vineyard sources. Gentle overlay of winemaking. He gets it. Really gets it." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
