SIGNATURE VINTAGES
2002 An important early reference for Torbreck’s top Grenache.
2004 Rich and expressive.
2005 Structured and long-lived.
2010 A strong modern benchmark.
2012 Balanced and ageworthy.
Note: the wine’s niche market means these are indicative high-quality reference years rather than a formal hierarchy.
The Investment Case
Les Amis occupies a specialised position as Torbreck's top old-vine Grenache. Production is low, giving the wine genuine scarcity, but its buyer pool is narrower than for RunRig or The Laird. Value retention therefore depends on continued interest in high-end Barossa Grenache and the strength of individual vintages.
