The Torbreck The Struie Shiraz 2023 is an exceptional, high-altitude Shiraz that masterfully blends fruit from both the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, showcasing the elegance and intensity of these iconic regions. The Eden Valley’s cooler climate and higher altitude, along with its distinctive terroir, create a wine of remarkable structure and purity, while the Barossa Valley’s fruit imparts rich, concentrated depth. This cuvée combines the best of both worlds: the freshness and tautness of Eden Valley with the bold, fruit-driven power of the Barossa.
The wine opens with lifted aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and dark chocolate, underpinned by notes of sandalwood and graphite. On the palate, it is plush, dense, and textured, offering a rich mouthfeel of dark fruits, soft tannins, and a long, concentrated finish. The tannins are soft yet powerful, providing the structure necessary for long-term aging potential. With 18 months in French oak, 25% of it new, this Shiraz is poised for further development, and it will reward careful cellaring over the next 20 years. Best enjoyed from 2025 onwards, it is the perfect match for hearty dishes like Texas BBQ ribs or your favourite steak.
