Torbreck continues to take advantage of dry-grown, old vines to make some of the Barossa's most demanded wines. Torbreck's The Struie is a 'Shiraz cuvée'; a skilful blend of fruit from high-altitude Eden Valley vineyards and lower-elevation Barossa Valley sites. Eden fruit contributes structure and lifted aromatics, while Barossa parcels provide richness and depth. Each vineyard is vinified separately in open-top fermenters. The wines are basket-pressed and matured in a mix of seasoned and select new French oak barriques for around 18 months. The 2024 Torbreck The Struie Shiraz delivers a wonderfully aromatic and deeply concentrated wine produced from the harmonious combination of both regions. Offering layers of dark chocolate, plum, blackberries, violets and spice characters all further enhance the natural elegance and tension of the fruit quality.
