Torbreck Vintners was founded by David Powell in 1994. The roots go back to 1992 when Dave, who was then working at Rockford, began to discover and clean up a few sections of dry-grown old vines. This has long been David Powell’s favourite wine within the Torbreck stable because of the old, gnarled ‘bush vines’ that produce its core. Deep ruby with flickers of violet, its delicate aromas of truffle, five spice and spring flowers are supported by a rich core of framboise, licorice, saddle leather and Provencal herbs. Very ‘Burgundian’ in style, the palate is elegant and pure with subtle notes of crushed cherries, earth and cedar all neatly wound by a taught spine of acidity and ripe supple tannins. The Steading will continue to unfold with time in the cellar & shall provide those with the patience great enjoyment for many years to come.

A mature Rhone style Aussie wine. Elegant, aromatic, medium to full body, sweet tannin, plum, red fruit. can easily be kept for 5+ years. absolutely a steal for this price...
