he Struie is a wonderfully aromatic and deeply concentrated wine produced from the harmonious combination of both regions, delivering layers of dark chocolate characters and defining structure. Nuances of plum, blackberries, violets and hidden spice characters all further enhance the natural elegance and tension of the fruit quality. The Struie will certainly age tremendously well over the next decade.
Torbreck Vintners was founded by David Powell in 1994, when he was able to secure a contract for the supply of grapes from a run-down but ancient Shiraz vineyard. He named his wine 'Torbreck' after a forest in Scotland where he worked as a lumberjack.
Since 1994, Torbreck has been committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines reflecting the very best vineyards in Australia’s famous Barossa, which is also home to some of the most precious old vines in the world. Torbreck not only works in a successful partnership with the very best grape growers of Barossa vineyards but also invests in some of Barossa’s most treasurable vineyards, that are all now under the custodianship of Torbreck. The Torbreck endeavour is based on the classic Barossa Valley varietals of Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, and whites are made from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne.
The name Struie originates from a mountain in the rugged highlands The Eden Valley, the cooler region to the east of the Barossa Valley, consists of river valleys and undulating hills covered with large gums, rocky outcrops and Aboriginal heritage sites. 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.
