Named after a forest near Scotland's Inverness, Torbreck is one of the Barossa's leading wineries. From the start, its aim was to create top-quality Rhône-style wines, using the great grapes of the Barossa. They work with the best growers, many of them multi-generational, who know each vine, the soil and climate and how they interact. It is this respect for nature and expressing it in their wines that makes them so revered. The Barossa boasts some of the oldest Rhône varietal vines in the world – Grenache, Syrah and Mataro. Those for their 94-point flagship The Steading are 40-150 years from seven top Barossa subregions. Hand picked, basket-pressed and aged 20 months in large oak barrels, this is a rich red. Open early and decant or cellar.
