The 2006 Steading is composed from the traditional Barossa cultivars of Grenache, It has long been David Powell’s favourite wine within the Torbreck stable because of the old, gnarled ‘bush vines’ that produce its core. Deep ruby with flickers of violet, its delicate aromas of truffle, five spice and spring flowers are supported by a rich core of framboise, licorice, saddle leather and Provencal herbs. Very ‘Burgundian’ in style, the palate is elegant and pure with subtle notes of crushed cherries, earth and cedar all neatly wound by a taught spine of acidity and ripe supple tannins. The 2006 Steading will continue to unfold with time in the cellar & shall provide those with the patience great enjoyment for many years to come.On a highland farm the collection of barns, stables and outbuildings own right. However, in blending, their strengths create a complex wine of solid earthy structure.’
