A brilliant wine from an excellent producer. An attractive pear and wood nose is followed by a delicious, broad apple, pear and creamy oak palate.

Founded in 1994, Torbreck Vintners have forged a fantastic reputation for the quality of their wines. The Struie is a blend of Shiraz from 80 year-old vines in Barossa, and higher-altitude 40-year old Eden Valley vineyard fruit. The varying altitudes and ripening patterns from the two sites results in distinctive varietal characteristics, complexity and freshness.

Torbreck Vintners specialise in Rhone Varietals, and this blend of Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) and Shiraz exemplifies their winemaking philosophy. Sourced from patches of withered, ancient vines over a century old, The Steading is a outstanding example of the quality that can be produced from historic cultivars.

A fresh, lively Riesling with a delicate green tinge and hints of freshly picked limes and orange peel. The palate shows great fruit purity with a refreshingly crisp, dry finish. Although ready to drink now, it can be aged with confidence for a few years.
