{"product_id":"2016-torbreck-the-laird","title":"2016 Torbreck \"The Laird\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Laird\" is Torbreck's pinnacle expression of Barossa Shiraz, sourced from a single five-acre plot of heritage vines in the sub-region of Marananga. It is widely considered one of the most powerful, complex, and collectible wines in Australia. This wine is the ultimate expression of the Marananga terroir—noted for its rich, dark clay soils that produce Shiraz with incredible density, savory depth, and immense aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Highlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Barossa Valley (Marananga), South Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Torbreck Vintners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Full-bodied, ultra-concentrated, and opulent Red Wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e An explosive bouquet of blackberry compote, crème de cassis, and roasted coffee beans, layered with complex notes of star anise, smoked meats, and dark chocolate.
