2002 Torbreck The Steading Grenache/Mataro/Shiraz
The Wine Advocate 93/100
2002 David Powell consistently excels with The Steading, an 8,000 case blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Shiraz. Aged 22 months in 300 liter hogsheads (foudres), it represents Australia’s version of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2002 The Steading’s big, spicy, earthy nose reveals notions of cherry liqueur, licorice, pepper, dried Provencal herbs, raspberries, and leather. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, chewy, and heady, it is best drunk during its first 7-8 years of life, although it will last a lot longer.

The melding of the three traditional Barossa varieties creates a tremendously complex and
rewarding wine. The Grenache and Mataro are from old bush vines that are pruned in the
traditional ‘goblet’ style to a limited number of buds, reducing yields and promoting flavour
and colour concentration. Only the free run component of the Shiraz is used in the blend to
allow the Grenache identity to shine through.
