"Woodcuters" means "lumberjack." That perfectly captures the essence of this rich, warm, full-bodied wine, which offers great aging potential yet remains very approachable. The balance between freshness and ripe fruit, along with aromas of blackcurrant, morello cherry, spices, and vanilla, define this fine wine.

About the wine:
The 2016 Woodcutters Shiraz is an affordable introduction to the Torbreck style, offering fragrant notes of crushed pepper, hickory smoke, ripe blueberries, and black olives. It isn't overly concentrated but is flavorful and approachable, with a silky, indulgent finish.
