Torbreck The Steading Xanadu The palate shows the hallmark

The palate shows the hallmark purity of fine acidity that is only achieved in Pipers River

perhaps the aromatic footprint of organically farmed old vines with no added yeast and a modest use of sulfur

time and attention invested in the high-density Spedding vineyard on Main Ridge over many years

then aged on fine lees with malolactic fermentation and minimal intervention to preserve aromatic finesse

precise and refreshing with fine acidity and serious length

Torbreck The Steading Xanadu The palate shows the hallmarkIt opens with aromas of plum, black cherry, raspberry, violet, star anise, and warm spice, with subtle notes of purple beet, tobacco leaf, and savory herbs. The oldvine Grenache brings perfume and lift, while Mataro adds earth and structure. On the palate, it is fullbodied, plush, and richly fruited, showing flavors of plum compote, blackberry, red cherry, spice, and earthysavory undertones, wrapped in silky but firm, talctextured tannins.
