      While the Eden Valley region is most associated with the white wine variety, Riesling, it also produces elegant, tautly structured Shiraz which is highly prized by winemakers. This Torbreck Shiraz cuvée is a skilful blend of fruit from a 40 year old Eden Valley Shiraz vineyard and an 80 year old Barossa Shiraz vineyard – a marriage of elegance and intensity.

      The 2022 vintage enjoyed slow ripening in the cooler conditions made for a gentle and drawn out season, wines retained higher natural acidity, rich colours and fine tannins. The wines from 2022 will reward those patient enough to cellar them away.

      Torbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland. You’ll find more than a passing nod to the Celts in our wine naming conventions including Struie, which is a 157 metre high mountain in the rugged highlands of north-east Scotland. The view from the Struie down across the Dornoch Firth is as inspiring as that of the Valley floor from Eden Valley.

      Torbreck The Struie 2022 6L

      The 2022 The Struie is composed of 79% Barossa Valley and 21% Eden Valley fruit. It is impenetrably dense in the glass and aromatic and rich in the mouth. It's totally concentrated with impressive flavor penetration on the palate. This is an epic wine, as usual, and at $55 AUD, it represents sensational premium Barossa Shiraz drinking. It's all velvet and volume, with detail and varietal definition. It could only come from one place on the planet, as it speaks as much to its red dirt origins as it does to the variety, Shiraz. Drink 2024-2037.

      — Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, 96 Points

      Seed spices, dried plums and dried meat to sniff, complex and appealingly savoury. Dark chocolate in the background. The palate is focused and deep, with good concentration as well as softness and approachability, in spite of its obvious cellar potential.

      Torbreck

      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.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood

      Lifted aromatics of blackberry, blue berry, dark chocolate, sandalwood and graphite.  

      PALATE
      Plush, Black Fruits, Soft Round Tannins

      On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with black and blue fruits and soft round tannins. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel without any harshness or bitterness.

      FINISH
      Seed Spices, Dried Meats, Savoury

      Textural with a long finish. The tannins are soft yet concentrated and they will hold the powerful structure and fruit weight together for many years.
