Torbreck “The Steading” Blanc 2023

Alcohol: 14.2%

Grape(s): Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier

Location: Barossa Valley, South Australia Tasting Notes: Fragrant aromas of acacia blossom, roasted nuts, and buttered citrus unfold into a medium to full-bodied palate. Creamy texture meets vibrant acidity, with layers of beeswax, spice, and minerality driving a long, elegant finish. 

Notes: Inspired by the dry whites of the Rhône Valley, “The Steading” Blanc is sourced entirely from Torbreck’s Descendant Vineyard. Barrel fermentation adds depth and richness, while the blend’s Rhône varietals adapt beautifully to Barossa’s terroir.

Food pairing: Pairs beautifully with seafood, especially crustaceans in rich sauces, as well as poultry and creamy vegetable dishes.

The Domain: Founded in 1994, Torbreck is a benchmark estate in the Barossa Valley, known for its expressive Rhône-style wines. Led by winemaker Ian Hongell, the winery combines traditional techniques with a deep respect for site-specific character, producing wines that are powerful, textured, and true to their origins
