The 2024 Torbreck The Struie Shiraz blends fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, capturing both the richness of old-vine Barossa sites and the lifted structure of Eden’s higher, cooler terrain. This dual-regional approach defines The Struie’s identity: plush, powerful and grounded in place, yet always balanced by finesse and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach parcel is vinified separately by Torbreck, with open-top fermentation and basket pressing before aging for 18 months in seasoned and select new French oak. The 2024 vintage continues the house tradition of bottling unfined and unfiltered, preserving the texture and depth intrinsic to both site and variety. While full-bodied and expressive in its youth, this Shiraz is built for medium-term cellaring, evolving gracefully over time with savoury detail and oak-woven complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-litre bottle format makes this release particularly special—designed for long-term cellaring or serious celebration. Expect a swirl of blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate on the nose, with hints of sandalwood, graphite and liquorice. The palate is dense and flowing, layered with black fruits, supple tannins and just the right push of acidity. It’s plush now, but will truly sing after a few more years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eA wine of poise and substance, it reflects the Torbreck philosophy of honouring Rhône varietals through Barossa soil, crafted for enjoyment alongside grilled meats, roasted game or robust vegetarian fare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1264\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1275\"\u003e– Spiced dark fruit\u003cbr data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eAromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark plum layered with black pepper, cocoa and sandalwood, lifted by floral and mineral hints from Eden Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1456\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003e– Rich yet structured\u003cbr data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1483\"\u003eBold dark fruits form the core, framed by fine tannins, integrated oak and subtle earthy spice.
