The Growers’ Cut is a special release, cellar door only wine, that pays homage each year to a selected grower whose particular vineyard has best exemplified the season or produced an extraordinary parcel of wine. The grapes produced each year for this wine will be one of the traditional Torbreck and Barossa varieties of Grenache, Shiraz or Mataro.

Torbreck's wine making process includes keeping each individual vineyard parcel separate throughout fermentation and maturation, with blending of vineyards only occurring prior to bottling.  At the end of each vintage our winemakers select the winning parcel of wine, which is then kept apart for a limited release single vineyard bottling.

This is a highly sought after prize, and competition between growers is both friendly and fierce.  The award is presented at our Annual Growers Dinner, where all Torbreck growers are invited to taste barrel samples of all the individual vineyard wines produced from the most recent vintage.

Tammy and Stuart Schutz  are the recipients of the  Growers’ Cut Award with their 2022 Stonewell district Shiraz . Planted in 2002 on red clay and ironstone,  the wine exhibits black summer fruits and western ridge intensity, and is a worthy winner of the Growers' Cut Prize
