2019 | Torbreck | The Steading

The Steading has an incredible fragrancy, purity of fruit, mid-palate concentration and savoury tannin profile. Vibrant aromas of redcurrant, cherry, pomegranate, violet, star anise and spice all unfold to reveal an impressive array of underlying fruit flavours. Silky, dark red fruits, black olive, savoury earth, liquorice and Asian spices. These complex yet elegant flavours are all neatly interwoven with a perfect balance of acidity and supple, silky tannins. This is a wine that will continue to develop with time in the cellar, and provide those with patience great enjoyment well into the next decade.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The newest release, the 2019 The Steading, offers restrained aromatics of mixed berries and cherries interlaced with hints of savory herbs. If it lacks the ripeness and richness of the 2018, it's more elegant and perhaps more complex, with those herbal striations adding silky textural elements to the medium to full-bodied palate. Gentle tannins linger on the finish.

• Wine Spectator: Dense, aromatic and complex, with kirsch, dried cherry, white pepper, black tea and olive tapenade. Details of fresh earth, cedar, tobacco and dried violet linger on the long finish, with a note of fresh cardamom. Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Drink now.

Producer Information

Torbreck, founded in 1994 by David Powell, is situated at Marananga on the western ridge of the Barossa. Since that time he has produced some of the world's finest 'Rhone varietal' wines, exclusively from Barossa fruit; this has been acknowledged by the wine press in Europe, America and Australia. The overwhelming majority of his vines are dry-grown, nearly all are 80 - 125 years old and are tended and harvested by hand.The wines have an extraordinary combination of power, intesity, complexity and great finesse, and bearing in mind the age of the vines and the laughably low yields, no Torbreck wine could ever be accused of being heavy, cloying or over-extracted.
