Note di degustazione
100% Shiraz from old-vine Barossa and Eden Valley (though only 8% in this vintage). The Struie stands out for the lovely sweet fruit-purity on the nose, along with violets, liquorice and gumtree (eucalyptus). On the palate, the attractively dry, powdery, graphite tannins make for a very stylish and elegant Struie and though slightly more closed than some of the other wines at the moment, is no doubt showing superb potential.

Always a blend of fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, Torbreck's 2019 The Struie is almost entirely Barossa Valley, with only 8% coming from the Eden Valley. Aged in 20% new French oak for 20 months, it's very dark in the glass, with aromas of pencil shavings, blueberries and baking spices. Full-bodied and even more intense than the impressive 2018, it remains supple and smooth from start to finish, where hints of licorice and warmth emphasize the wine's ripeness.
A bold Struie with only a small inclusion of Eden Valley material, this has rich, blackberry and tar aromas, as well as a herbal edge. Very fleshy palate with long, fully formed tannins carrying blackberry and toasty oak spice at the finish. Drink or hold.
Very deep, bright, youthful purple/read colour. Rich, ripe blood plums to sniff. Subtle flecks of fresh-turned earth and ironstone. A hint of licorice. It’s a full-bodied and fleshy, soft and supple, with lovely extract and weight in the mouth without heaviness. There is concentration and drive on the mid-palate and a solid tannin grip to conclude – all in balance. Black fruits, licorice and dark chocolate linger on and on. (Only 20% Eden Valley this year due to very low crops).
