Torbreck The Steading GSM 2022

Barossa blend, elevated 🍇🔥

The 2022 Torbreck The Steading is proof that when Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro come together, magic happens. Layered, textural, and grounded in old-vine Barossa fruit (some dating back to the 1800s).

Expect red plum, dark cherry, and dried herbs, with savoury spice, earthiness, and a silky structure that makes it one of the most versatile wines in the lineup. Matured in large format oak for 20 months, it’s polished without being overdone.

Officially recognised as a Classified (Second Growth) in Langton’s Classification, The Steading continues to prove that GSM can be both soulful and seriously collectible.

What the experts say about this wine

The 2022 The Steading is juicy, fleshy and aromatically abundant. It is routinely a reliably satisfying wine, and it has been ever since I started drinking wine. Framed by this fine, fresh, late vintage, the Steading looks better than ever, with raspberry, licorice, mulberry, star anise and a hint of aniseed. Super! 15% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax.

In 2022, the Steading blend is 50/31/19% grenache/shiraz/mataro and is the picture of the contemporary Barossan GSM. Red and blue fruits predominately, with a flash of blueberry and cranberry providing the high tones. Plenty of detail and delineation, the gingery spiced grenache and meaty-edged mataro clearly visible and simpatico with the shiraz fruit tones. There's some pith to the fine, sandy tannins and a mineral sapidity to its savoury endpoint. Great drinking. Consistently.
