The 2022 season brought slow ripening in cooler conditions, creating a vintage with higher natural acidity, rich colours, and fine tannins. Torbreck's signature wine, The Steading, embodies the winery's philosophy. The 2022 blend features 50% Grenache, 31% Shiraz, and 19% Mataro. It offers vibrant aromas of red and blue fruits, including mulberry and cherry, with a more robust and plush palate than previous vintages. Sandalwood and other oak spices add to the wine's complexity. For maturation, it saw 20 months on fine yeast lees in large 4500L French oak foudre vats. Natural malolactic conversion occurred during time in barrel.
The Steading comes from multiple Barossa subregions - Gomersal, Lyndoch, Greenock, Moppa, Marananga, Seppeltsfield, and Ebenezer. The vineyards range from 40 to 150 year old vines that survived the worldwide phylloxera outbreak of the 1880s, and a century later, the vine-pull scheme in the Barossa in the 1980s.

Plum and fresh meaty aromas, spicy/earthy background, some grenache florals peeping through; medium-full bodied and a soft fleshy tannin texture. Very pleasing and drinks well already.
Torbreck was founded with the mission to become one of the world’s great wine brands, and since 1994, it has remained steadfast in its commitment to creating exceptional Rhône-style wines. The winery is located in the heart of Australia's famous Barossa Valley, which is renowned for its rich winemaking heritage and exceptional terroir. Torbreck works closely with multi-generational growers, whose families have been in the region for nearly two centuries. These growers are central to Torbreck’s winemaking philosophy, which focuses on working in partnership with the land to create wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Barossa.
Torbreck’s commitment to minimal intervention winemaking ensures that the expression of each vineyard’s terroir is preserved, resulting in wines that are rich, structured, and capable of ageing gracefully. The winery’s dedication to quality is reflected in their choice of high-quality oak for maturation, as well as their careful fermentation techniques that allow the flavours to develop naturally. Torbreck’s wines, are a true reflection of the Barossa Valley’s potential to produce world-class, age-worthy wines.
Torbreck's philosophy is rooted in an unwavering commitment to the land and to the art of winemaking. From the very beginning, the team has sought to honour the Barossa Valley's unique terroir, working with growers who have deep ties to the land and generations of knowledge. The winery's dedication to producing exceptional wines is evident in their focus on understanding the subtle differences between vineyard sites and how these differences impact the wine. This philosophy extends beyond just the vineyards to the winemaking process, where minimal intervention allows the wines to reflect their true character.
The focus on preserving the integrity of the land is complemented by Torbreck’s use of traditional winemaking techniques. By combining these practices with modern innovations, Torbreck creates wines that are both classic and contemporary. Their commitment to quality and sustainability ensures that each bottle is a true expression of the Barossa Valley. Whether it’s the traditional methods used to harvest the fruit or the careful selection of oak for aging, Torbreck remains dedicated to making wines that capture the essence of the region and showcase the expertise of those who work the land.
Intensely lifted red and blue fruits dominate the aromas of mulberry, red plum, redcurrant and red cherry.
The palate is more robust than past vintages with denser plusher red fruits and a silky mouthfeel and added weight that glides across the tongue.
Spices like sandalwood, cinnamon bark, and star anise also add complexity.
