Food Matching

Food Matching

This big, bold and beautiful wine can take on a whole range of gusty ingredients and flavours, though it is equally happy at a barbecue. Michel Roux Jr, in his book Matching Food and Wine: Classic and Not So Classic Combinations, suggests the following dishes, which gives an idea of what it can take on: duck confit and sauté potatoes; grilled marinated beef in Cantonese barbecue style; oxtail broth with pearl barley; pork shoulder stew with potatoes and chorizo sausage. Avoid overly subtle ingredients and preparations, cream sauces and anything too salty or spicy.

Wine tasting notes

Complex and concentrated, The Factor is cloaked in velvet tannins that will continue to develop for another 10 years at least. The Factor is all that you would expect of a pureblood Barossa Shiraz.

Torbreck produces wines exclusively from some of the most revered vineyards in the Barossa Valley, home to the oldest vines and clonal material in the world. Red wines are made from the classic Barossa varieties: Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, using manual, artisanal production methods.. read more
