The Torbreck The Steading GSM 2023 is one of Australias great Rhne-style blends a wine that combines Barossa power with poise, complexity and serious pedigree. Sourced predominantly from old-vine Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvdre vineyards, it is consistently one of Torbrecks most admired and age-worthy releases.

The 2023 vintage is beautifully expressive, opening with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with dried herbs, liquorice, pepper and warm spice. On the palate, Grenache brings generosity and red-fruited lift, Shiraz adds depth and structure, while Mourvdre contributes savoury grip, earthiness and length. The tannins are fine but firm, the acidity well judged, giving the wine both immediate appeal and long-term balance.

Despite its intensity, The Steading is never heavy. Theres an effortless flow across the palate, finishing long, savoury and complex, with spice and mineral notes lingering well after the last sip. This is a wine that rewards both early drinking and extended cellaring.

A modern Australian classic bold, refined and unmistakably Torbreck.
