Torbreck Vintners, The Steading Red 2019 is Barossa comfort in a glass—rich, layered, and effortlessly drinkable, with that signature Torbreck elegance running right through it.
A blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro (Mourvèdre), this is Torbreck’s take on a Southern Rhône-style red, and it’s beautifully done. The 2019 vintage delivers ripe raspberry and plum, warm spice, and a hint of earthiness, with a lovely silky texture and just enough grip to keep things grounded. There’s plenty of flavour here, but nothing feels overdone - it’s generous without being heavy, polished without losing character. Whether you’re pairing it with a Sunday roast, grilled lamb, or simply enjoying a glass on a cool evening, this is a red that wraps you up and keeps you there.
The Steading is sourced from vines that survived the worldwide phylloxera outbreak of the 1880s, and a century later, the vine-pull scheme in the Barossa in the 1980s. The protection of this old vine resource of the Barossa Valley is central to the Torbreck story and this wine, more than any other, is an indication of what is possible from these historic cultivars.
What the critics say:
"Ripe but sinewy tannins mesh beautifully with dark berry and black olive on the chamois-smooth palate. There's smoked meat, ink, lavender and Turkish Delight riffs, with iron filing minerality to the lengthy finish. Sourced from 40- to 150-year-old vines from Gomersal, Lyndoch, Greenock, Moppa, Marananga, Seppeltsfield and Ebenezer, this polished 60% Grenache blended with Shiraz and Mataro is aged in 4,500-litre French oak foudres."
"60/21/19% grenache/shiraz/mataro sourced from 40-150yo vines across 7 districts spanning the Barossa floor. Matured 20 months in French oak foudres. Beautifully crafted, polished, seamless Barossa GSM. Bright and deep in colour and personality. Blessed with the expansive, effortless character that comes from maturation in large oak foudre. All 3 varieties and oak unite in seamless coherence, guided by super-fine tannins through a long finish. Impossible to corner as fruity, savoury, herbal, peppery, spicy, fleshy or dry, it's consummately all of the above."
