Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz 2009 is consistently praised as being an incredible wine for an incredible price. Here’s another great review: “From the Eden Valley and a patch of shaley schist rock bed comes this deep, rich and brooding wine. It is made with minimal winemaker intervention using wild yeasts and a gentle basket press to squeeze the grapes – all buzz words that can add extra dollars to the price of a wine, which makes this a lot of wine for just $17. It smells of black and blueberries, almond nougat and cloves. It‘s medium-to-full-bodied and has a deep dark-purple colour. It (the Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz 2009) has flavours of blackberry cordial, stewed plums and hints of black pepper along with a nice meatiness. Fine-grained tannins and slight herbal notes finish the wine off. This is a seriously good price for a lovely winter tipple. ” Ben Thomas The Weekly Review May 2010
