{"product_id":"torbreck-the-steading-gsm-375ml","title":"Torbreck The Steading GSM 375ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Steading is very much the heart and soul of Torbreck, the wine that exemplifies our philosophy and beliefs - protecting and nurturing the old vine resources of the Barossa Valley is paramount to Torbreck and this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sourced from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz vines that survived the worldwide phylloxera outbreak of the 1880s, and a century later, the vine-pull scheme in the Barossa in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is a result of the serendipitous discovery of small remnant patches of withered ancient vines, some well over a century old, that have been carefully nurtured back to life. The protection of this old vine resource of the Barossa Valley is central to the Torbreck story and this wine, more than any other, is an indication of what is possible from these historic cultivars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Steading is a collection of 45 different sources of fruit, some from our own vineyard estates as well as from growers on a share-farming basis. These precious grapes are vinified separately and blended once their individual virtues have been assessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Steading’s generous and supple flavours combine with its silken texture in a wine that defines what is possible only in the Barossa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland. You’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions including The Steading, a traditional name for a farm and its collection of barns, stables and outbuildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted aromas of red currant, pomegranate, red cherry and red plum. The secondary aromas of spice and earthy, such as clove, star anise, bay leaf and wild thyme add complexity. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a dense core of plush red-berried fruits whilst leaning towards the savoury side. Firm tannins envelope the mouth and provide depth and a plushness with an elongated finish. The 2021 Steading is indicative of the harvest from low yielding old bush vines that produced high quality wines Pair with game meats poultry or Chinese roast pork. Enjoy at its best from 5-15 years.
