Torbreck “The Factor” is a flagship single-vineyard-style Shiraz from Torbreck Vintners, one of the Barossa Valley’s most acclaimed producers, sourced from old-vine parcels across the valley floor. Founded in 1994 by David Powell, Torbreck built its reputation on old-vine Barossa Shiraz and Rhône-style blends named after the region’s Scottish and forestry heritage. The Factor sits among the house’s top-tier expressions, priced and positioned well above an everyday Shiraz.
