Torbreck THE STEADING Oaked Grenache Shiraz Mataro Barossa Valley
Description: If any one wine we produce most exemplifies what Torbreck is, then it is this wine, our ode to the great old vines, planted at the turn of last century, that survived the vine-pull scheme of the 1980s. Thankfully there are still many great vineyards remaining that are planted to Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz , the traditional Barossa varieties. From cuttings brought back from James Busby's 1831-2 trip to France and Spain and planted on their own roots these vineyards are some of the most precious in the world. Share-farming agreements with the Barossa' s best growers has enabled us to gain access to these vineyards among the precious in the world. Share-farming agreements with the Barossa' s best growers has enabled us to gain access to these vineyards and their fruit each season. From there we crush, ferment, gently press and mature the wine in seasoned oak casks for 18 months before bottling without filtration. Most importantly, there are about 45 different parcels of fruit that compose The Steading which are all fermented and matured separately , being brought together only at blending where their individuality is assessed prior to the composition of the final blend. The Steading is the reference point for Grenache dominant blends produced in the Barossa Valley and is made for the dining table. (12 x 75 cl)
