About the Wine Maker
Recently Ex Torbreck Head Winemaker (2006-2017), Craig Isbel, owner and winemaker of Izway Wines, dropped in to pour his latest creations. He knows a thing or two about the Barossa - his pedigree at Torbreck included turning out 4 x 100 point Wine Advocate wines and countless 99-pointers!!
Craig, along with his wife Kathryn own and operate Izway Wines in the Barossa Valley. Their ‘Micro’ winery turns out incredible handcrafted wines, albeit in minute quantities - their annual crush varies from 22 to 25 tons - TINY!
In addition to producing wine from vines around their house and winery, they collaborate with a couple of long-term partners with small plots nearby as well as one plot in the Eden Valley. All grapes are sourced from old vines and organically grown. The Isbels work in a 'Lo-Fi' manner, using no pumps, a basket press and minimal additions of sulphur - very hands off!
The Isbels' suite of wines are characterized by a remarkable purity and depth - with an unmissable velvet glide. These wines are exceptional expressions of Australian Shiraz that should be in sitting in any fine wine cellar!
