Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2005
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a powerhouse Bordeaux estate, often mentioned in the same breath as its legendary neighbour, Château Haut-Brion - and for good reason. Located in Pessac-Léognan, just on the outskirts of Bordeaux city, La Mission produces wines that are powerful, deeply complex, and incredibly age-worthy. The estate has a rich history dating back to the 16th century and was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon in 1983, bringing it under the same ownership as Haut-Brion. Since then, it’s continued to flourish, combining traditional know-how with meticulous vineyard and cellar management. Stylistically, La Mission is known for its intensity and structure - typically a bit more muscular than Haut-Brion - with layers of dark fruit, tobacco, earth, and spice.
Torbreck Vintners, The Factor, - 3L (Jeroboam) 2016
Torbreck was established in 1994 from the resurrection of old vines vineyards that had fallen into disrepair on selected sites in The Barossa Valley. Twenty five years later Torbreck makes 19 different cuvées to continued acclaim, sourcing fruit from a number of old, some might say ancient, dry-farmed vines in vineyards. The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor, and Torbreck's The Factor is a tribute to what makes the Barossa truly special - those incredible old Shiraz vines and the dedicated growers who care for them vintage after vintage.
