Situated in the heart of the Wairau Valley in New Zealand’s famous Marlborough wine region, Stoneleigh Vineyard is part of a remarkable winegrowing area. The cool climate, high sunshine hours and distinctive stone studded Rapaura soils in Marlborough provide the ideal conditions for their signature style – uniquely fresh, crisp \u0026amp; aromatically rich wine ripened by sunstones, sustainably sourced and vegan certified. Ultimately, Stoneleigh believe that beautiful things can happen when we partner with nature and actively work with it hence why they use sunstones from an ancient riverbed to naturally ripen their vines, bringing richer, more vibrant flavours to their grapes. Sustainability is also an important part of their journey as they have dedicated over 23 hectares to biodiversity projects and a further 8 hectares to regenerative land. Additionally, they use 100% sustainably sourced grapes and absolutely no animal products from grape to bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, this Stoneleigh Marlborough Pinot Gris wine displays ripe Nashi pear and stone fruit notes with subtle spicy notes.

Prior to this endeavour, Keith's extensive credentials in Agricultural Science and Wine Marketing, earned through his studies at Roseworthy College, set the stage for his pursuit of excellence in winemaking. During his years of preparation, Keith diligently explored the region, seeking guidance from local winemakers and viticulturalists who pointed him in the direction of the Barossa's red\/brown soil over limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmed with this invaluable knowledge, he strategically located the finest parcels of land using an old soil map from the 1950s. This quest led them to a picturesque mixed farming property nestled among the rolling hills along the banks of Greenock Creek in the western region of the Barossa. Here, they discovered a remarkable diversity of soil types, varying aspects, and altitudes, forming the foundation for their winemaking pursuit. In 2004, Hentley Farm expanded its estate with the acquisition of a neighbouring vineyard that shared the coveted natural amphitheatre of rolling hills surrounding the property. This addition further enhanced the diversity of the site, solidifying Hentley Farm's position as a single estate spanning 150 acres of pure vinous potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeith's background as an agricultural scientist played a crucial role in the meticulous exploration and understanding of the land before the planting process could commence at Hentley Farm. With a keen eye for detail, he delved into the unique characteristics of the site, discovering the intriguing influence of altitude differentials and variations in the east-west aspect, which resulted in unexpected microclimates. Collaborating with local viticulturalists, Keith embarked on an extensive endeavour to explore the diverse soils present on the property, employing the excavation of forty soil pits throughout the site. The extraordinary diversity of soil, aspect, and altitude presented both an opportunity and a challenge that demanded careful planning and precision in the vineyard layout. Factors such as varietal selection, clone selection, row spacing, orientation, trellising methods, and water management were meticulously considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, Keith and his team devised the concept of \"viticultural blocks,\" dividing the single vineyard into nine distinct blocks based on similarities in soil type, aspect, and climate. Each block was further subdivided into rows to account for variations in soil, aspect, and microclimates. The vineyards were planted with a selection of grape varieties, with Shiraz comprising 70% of the plantings, followed by Grenache (17%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Zinfandel (2%), and a small parcel of Viognier (0.5%). In 2002, the first wines from the property were released, showcasing the exceptional results of Keith's meticulous planning and the team's dedication to crafting wines of distinct character and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his tenure beginning in 2008, Head Winemaker Andrew Quin has played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the vineyard, dedicating himself to the creation of contemporary wines that embody the essence of traditional Barossa varieties. Andrew's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence has left an indelible mark on the vineyard's evolution, ensuring that each bottle reflects the harmonious marriage of time-honoured grape varieties with a contemporary winemaking approach. With a keen focus on showcasing varietal diversity, the wines of Hentley Farm captivate with their allure and accessibility in their youth, while possessing the depth and structure necessary for extended cellaring. Andrew's dedicated stewardship has firmly established Hentley Farm as a prominent boutique winery in Australia, garnering acclaim from around the world, including the prestigious title of 2015 James Halliday Winery of the Year. Every bottle released from Hentley Farm tells a unique tale of the vineyard and the vintage, with production volumes limited by the boundaries of the estate and the conditions of each specific harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2020 is well-named, a powerful expression of Barossa Shiraz!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Shiraz\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2020\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 15%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hentley Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055883530289,"sku":"HFTBSH","price":94.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/TheBeast.png?v=1611287737"},{"product_id":"rocky-gully-cabernets","title":"Rocky Gully Cabernets","description":"","brand":"Rocky Gully","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055886479409,"sku":"RGC","price":15.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/rocky-gully-cabernet.jpg?v=1620347244"},{"product_id":"rocky-gully-shiraz","title":"Rocky Gully Shiraz","description":"","brand":"Rocky Gully","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055886643249,"sku":"RGSH","price":15.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/RockyGully_Shiraz.jpg?v=1620347248"},{"product_id":"logan-weemala-shiraz-viognier-2021","title":"Logan Weemala Shiraz Viognier 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWeemala comes from the local Aboriginal word for ‘great view’, and that’s exactly what the Logan family have from their vineyard in Mudgee, in western NSW. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePeter Logan’s approach is refreshingly untraditional, steadfast in making wines he wants to drink rather than what market trends dictate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe rich Logan Weemala Shiraz Viognier 2021 is a delightful blend of 96% Shiraz and 4% Viognier grapes, sourced from Mudgee and Orange.

Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation, the wine is basket pressed and then aged on lees in a mixture of new and used French oak for 12 to 18 months. Joseph Osbon was a successful racehorse owner and Footbolt was the pride of his stable. In 1912 he made the hard decision to sell his horses to purchase the d'Arenberg property. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Shiraz\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - McLaren Vale, South Australia\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2021\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14.5% \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"d'Arenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055890542641,"sku":"DAFSH17","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/darenbergfootboltshiraz.png?v=1605649107"},{"product_id":"lake-breeze-bernoota-shiraz-cabernet","title":"Lake Breeze Bernoota Shiraz Cabernet 2015","description":"","brand":"Lake Breeze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055894081585,"sku":"LBBSHC","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/lake_breeze_bernoota.jpg?v=1620329451"},{"product_id":"lake-breeze-cabernet-sauvignon-2017","title":"Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Follett family has been growing grapes at Langhorne Creek for over 120 year, where the deep alluvial soils of the Bremer flood plain coupled with cooling 'lake breezes' provide ideal conditions for premium grape production. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifically selected grapes from 50 year old vines and insightful winemaking have given rise to a compelling wine showing classic cabernet characters of cassis and cedar.

Auricht had migrated from Prussia in 1838 seeking religious freedom for his family in the new world. He established a smithy and began tending a mixed farm and in 1843 he planted one acre of Shiraz vines on the estate, which is still producing fruit today. The vineyard is believed to be the oldest surviving Shiraz vineyard in the world and is now the source of Langmeil's icon wine, The Freedom 1843 Shiraz. The winery changed hands several times over the years and in 1996, three local mates collaborated to purchase and restore the property. They revived the old vineyard and named it The Freedom and Langmeil's first harvest from the vineyard was in 1997. Today, Langmeil is family-owned and internationally recognized as one of the Barossa's premium wine producers.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cuvée Juveniles wine is a bistro-style blend inspired by the Cotes Du Rhone region and made with classic Barossa grape varieties, including Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre), and Shiraz, sourced primarily from unirrigated old vine vineyards. In addition to these three varietals, Torbreck has also planted Counoise and Carignan to add a layer of complexity, depth, and spicy notes to the blend. This wine is designed to appeal to those who appreciate French wines, while still capturing the hearts of Barossa wine fans. With great aging potential, the Cuvée Juveniles is a sophisticated yet approachable wine that is sure to delight all palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles is a wine that bears the unmistakable signature of a mild and even summer growing season. With the help of ample rains in the winter and spring of 2021, the vineyards were able to produce luscious canopies and exceptional grape bunches that matured beautifully. This has resulted in wines with a rich aromatic character that boast densely coloured tints and remarkable balance. The old vine Grenache, a longtime favourite, is on full display again, enchanting the palate with lifted florals and juicy red fruits like wild cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate. The addition of Counoise and Carignan, two classic Rhone varietals, provides a savoury complexity that beautifully complements the beef jerky and Chinese five spice aromas of Mataro. On the palate, this Rhone blend boasts a medium-bodied texture that is both lithe and plush, with long acidity that balances a fresh fruitiness and a slightly firmer tannin profile than previous vintages. The wine pairs beautifully with a variety of cuisines, including spicy dishes and should be served chilled to around 16 degrees Celsius. With a combination of stainless steel and large format French oak foudre maturation, the Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles boasts bright crimson and cherry hues in color, with scents of red cherries, pomegranate and Chinese five spice paired with meaty tones. This wine ages beautifully and can be cellared for up to 7 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAromas of graphite, slate, and dark berry with some nutmeg.

The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eIn the heart of the Barossa Valley, Semillon has found its natural home. With a history that dates back over 160 years, this white grape variety was among the first to be planted by the early settlers. The Mediterranean climate, coupled with meticulous farming practices, has fostered a legacy of old, low-yielding Semillon vineyards, creating a unique and cherished heritage. To craft Torbreck Woodcutter's Semillon, the winemakers employ an age-old, robust, pink-skinned Madeira clone, predominantly found in the Barossa region. This particular clone adds a special touch to the wine, lending it characteristics reminiscent of the savoury, food-friendly white wines found in the central and southern regions of France. To further enhance its complexity and depth, the Woodcutter's Semillon undergoes maturation in both stainless steel tanks and seasoned French barriques. This careful aging process allows the wine to develop its distinct personality while maintaining its vibrant and fresh character. Unlike a typical lemony Semillon, Woodcutter's Semillon surprises with a more intricate aromatic profile. Its bouquet unfolds with enticing notes of smoked almonds, adding a subtle hint of nuttiness. The delicate scent of honeysuckle dances alongside, infusing the wine with floral nuances that captivate the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eTorbreck Woodcutters Shiraz represents a captivating expression of the up and coming Shiraz vineyards in the esteemed Barossa region. While it diverges from the battle-hardened old vines that define their other cuvées, it exemplifies their unwavering commitment to exceptional viticulture and winemaking practices. Meticulous care is at the heart of crafting Woodcutters Shiraz. The fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, ensuring that only the finest grapes contribute to this remarkable wine. The result is a testament to the dedication of their viticultural team, who work tirelessly to nurture the vines and coax out their full potential. From the moment of harvest, Woodcutters Shiraz undergoes a meticulous winemaking process. The grapes are open fermented, allowing for gentle extraction of their rich flavors and aromas. Following fermentation, the wine is gently basket pressed, ensuring a careful extraction of the juice while preserving its purity and character. For 12 months, Woodcutters Shiraz is aged on fine lees in large format seasoned barrels and foudres. This extended aging period allows the wine to develop complexity and depth, while the use of seasoned barrels ensures a subtle integration of oak flavors. The result is a wine that seamlessly combines the vibrant fruit character of the Barossa with nuances of oak, showcasing the balance and finesse that are hallmarks of Torbreck wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-1 ycJAk\" data-pinnedconversationturnid=\"e07cdfb1-a9ef-483b-87a5-561b06bd3598\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-2 extNaj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-e796aa8b-0 bzuTdn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-4 gYBrzX\" data-testid=\"youchat-answer-turn-21\" data-pinnedconversationturnid=\"e07cdfb1-a9ef-483b-87a5-561b06bd3598\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-e796aa8b-1 ipkAIZ\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eThe Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz showcases the vibrancy and potential of the up and coming Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa. While it may differ from the esteemed old vine cuvées, this wine still receives the utmost care and attention in both viticulture and winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a captivating bouquet of lifted red, black and blue fruits. The aromas of red cherry, raspberry coulis, blueberry conserve, wild blackberry and blackcurrant intertwine creating a symphony of enticing scents. A delightful spicy edge emerges, with hints of cardamom, star anise and Chinese five spice adding complexity to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine exhibits soft, caressing tannins and a voluptuous mouthfeel. This can be attributed to the plump Shiraz berries, which lend a velvety texture to the wine. Despite its approachable nature, this Shiraz maintains a poised structure, defying expectations with its depth and pedigree. The fruit's poise and piquancy harmoniously rest upon the structured mouthfeel, promising an exceptional aging potential of 5-10 years. To fully appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to serve Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz at a temperature of 16°C.

This name embodies Nanny Goat's connection to the land and the spirit of exploration that drives our winemaking journey. ‘Nanny Goat Vineyard’ perfectly encapsulates their determination to succeed, adapt and thrive in the rugged and often extreme climates of Central Otago; much like the nimble and sure-footed wild goats of the region have done long before their arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom their inaugural release of Pinot Noir in 2005, Nanny Goat Vineyard has strived to produce wines with elegance, concentration and balance whilst allowing each individual parcel of fruit to tell its unique story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNanny Goat Estate Vineyard sits between 270m and 290m above sea level spread across two ancient, North East facing terraces. This region experiences climatic extremes with scorching hot summers, fleeting autumns, and brutally cold winters. Indeed, these are challenging conditions for producing world-class cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Successive periods of glaciation and recession, followed by erosion by Mata Au \/ Clutha River have shaped the Nanny Goat Estate landscape by creating distinct terraces of alluvial soils that are a mosaic of loess, gravel, schist and mineral quartz.

Central Otago is the only area in New Zealand that has a semi-continental climate and experiences greater diurnal shifts in temperature and more seasonal extremes than any other wine-growing region in New Zealand. The diurnal shift in temperature can involve daytime temperatures in excess of 30° and nights with temperatures dropping as low as 0°. This wide swing in temperature aids the development of flavour complexity in the fruit while retaining natural acidity. Central Otago produces wines of extraordinary intensity and distinction that show varietal and regional definition.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eTorbreck The Steading is an extraordinary wine that showcases the resilience and history of the Barossa Valley's vineyards. This exceptional blend is sourced from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz vines that miraculously survived the devastating phylloxera outbreak in the 1880s. These vines, which also withstood the vine-pull scheme in the 1980s, have been carefully nurtured back to life, resulting in the creation of this remarkable wine. The story of Torbreck is intertwined with the protection of the old vine resource in the Barossa Valley. The serendipitous discovery of small remnants of ancient vines, some over a century old, has been a pivotal moment in preserving the region's historic cultivars. The Steading, more than any other wine, serves as a testament to the possibilities that arise from these treasured vineyards. The uniqueness of The Steading lies in its composition, derived from 45 different sources of fruit. Some grapes come from Torbreck's own vineyard estates, while others are obtained through partnerships with growers on a share-farming basis. Each parcel of grapes is vinified separately, allowing their individual characteristics to shine. Only after careful assessment of their virtues, are these precious grapes blended to create The Steading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eTorbreck The Steading pays homage to the rich Celtic heritage with its traditional naming conventions. Among the various wines produced by Torbreck, The Steading stands as a testament to the Celtic influence, drawing inspiration from the name traditionally used to describe a farm and its assortment of barns, stables, and outbuildings. The Celts, known for their deep connection to nature and their agricultural practices, have left an indelible mark on the regions they inhabited. Torbreck, in recognizing this influence, adopts the name The Steading for this particular wine, evoking a sense of the past and the rustic charm associated with a traditional farmstead. Just as a farmstead brings together different structures to create a harmonious whole, The Steading blends together the finest grapes sourced from various vineyards. It represents a collection of the best fruit, carefully selected from Torbreck's own vineyard estates and partner growers who share the vision and dedication to crafting exceptional wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eThe Torbreck The Steading is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique character and heritage of the Barossa Valley. Crafted from a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, this wine is a testament to the winery's commitment to preserving the old vine resource of the region. In the glass, this wine displays a deep, ruby red colour, inviting you to explore its complex aromas. On the nose, you'll find a captivating bouquet of ripe dark berries, such as blackberries and black cherries, intertwined with hints of dried herbs and warm spices. It is a harmonious blend of fruit and savoury elements. On the palate, The Steading delivers a rich and full-bodied experience. The generous flavors of black fruits continue to shine, accompanied by notes of plum and raspberry. The wine's velvety texture and well-integrated tannins provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. There is a beautiful balance between fruit intensity and structural elegance. This wine is a true reflection of the Barossa Valley's terroir and winemaking expertise. The careful selection of fruit from various sources and the artful blending process result in a wine that is both expressive and refined. It is a testament to the winery's dedication to quality and the preservation of the region's viticulturally heritage. The Torbreck The Steading is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. The larger format bottle allows for extended aging, allowing the wine to develop further complexity and depth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - 65% Grenache, 20% Shiraz, 15% Mataro\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2021\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torbreck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055902502961,"sku":"TTSGSM","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/TorbreckTheSteading.png?v=1620299734"},{"product_id":"aroha-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Aroha Sauvignon Blanc","description":"","brand":"Aroha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055905321009,"sku":"ARHSB","price":10.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/aroha.jpg?v=1620290157"},{"product_id":"crystal-lake-sauvignon-blanc-2019","title":"Crystal Lake Sauvignon Blanc 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrystal Lake Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is a lively expression of fragrant, tropical characters; pineapple, passionfruit and gooseberry.
