Torbreck The Steading Gsm 2023 750ml

Old vine Barossa GSM with plush dark fruit, spice detail and long, shapely tannins.

Torbreck The Steading GSM 2023 is a signature Barossa blend built around old, dry grown vineyards on the Western Ridge delivering depth, perfume and a beautifully sculpted palate. With Grenache at the core for brightness and charm, Shiraz for richness, and Mataro for savoury grip, it’s a classic Torbreck release: generous, balanced and seriously satisfying.

Halliday Wine Companion - 93 Points

In '23, the Steading sees a blend of 50/31/19% grenache/shiraz/mataro from grapes sourced across the parishes of the Barossa. Blueberry, boysenberry, dark cherry and plum is where the fruit is at; plumbed with gingery spice and hints of citrus blossom, dried meats, dried citrus rind and earth. The fruit's deep but there is a succulence on the palate and a nice energy to the acidity, finishing with a swell of powdery tannin and spiced red and dark berry fruits. Dave Brookes
