The white wines begin with the 2006 Woodcutter’s Semillon which is 100% varietal from 90-year-old vines. Half of the wine was barrel-fermented and spent 10 months in old oak. The other half was tank fermented. It offers a perfume of candle wax, citrus and honeysuckle leading to a full-bodied, concentrated wine with lively acidity, outstanding depth, and gobs of ripe grapefruit and melon flavors. This tasty Semillon could evolve a bit but why delay gratification? Torbreck, under the leadership of owner/winemaker David Powell, remains a Barossa Valley benchmark as well as one of the world’s greatest wine estates. The top cuvees are limited production and expensive but there are also some outstanding values in the portfolio. With regard to the current vintages for the Barossa red wines, David Powell states “? 2004 is more savory while 2005 has more purity and definition. 2004 is more classic, 2005 will take longer to come around.”Importer: Jon Elkins, The Australian Wine Connection, Carlsbad, CA; www.torbreck.com
