Torbreck The Struie is a luxury Australian Shiraz wine that is renowned for its elegance, complexity, and balance. It is a product of one of the most revered wineries in Australia, Torbreck Vintners, which is renowned for producing some of the finest wines in the Barossa Valley.

The wine gets its name from the hillside vineyards it is sourced from, which overlooks the Eden Valley and the Barossa Valley. These vineyards boast ancient, low-yielding vines, which produce grapes that are rich in flavors and aromas.

Torbreck The Struie wine is crafted with great care, using traditional, artisanal techniques that have been passed down through generations. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, which imparts an added depth and complexity to the final product.

The Struie is a wine with a depth of character and a complexity that will delight any wine connoisseur. It is the perfect choice for a special occasion or a romantic dinner, where it can be paired perfectly with red meat, lamb, or game dishes.

Tasting Notes

The 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

About the Winery

Located in Australia’s premium wine-producing region of Barossa Valley, Torbreck Estate was established in 1994 to produce some exceptional quality Rhone-style wines. The first vines were planted here during the 1840s. The plantings were all of Rhone Valley varietals, such as, Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvedre. Today, the red and white wines produced at Torbreck are considered some of the best in the Barossa region.

With its great Mediterranean climate, Barossa has the perfect English tradition of winemaking, which suits Torbreck’s techniques. This region had a rich history of over 175 years of winemaking when this label was created. Therefore, the management of Torbreck decided that they would continue to make wines from Barossa, the region that lent unique structure, flavour and elegance to the wines.

At Torbreck, the team practices minimal intervention at all times, to give respect to the land that creates the fruits. Maintaining low yields, using indigenous yeasts for fermentation, hand-harvesting of the fruits and allowing them to age naturally & gracefully are some of the sustainable techniques practiced here.

Over a period of time, Torbreck also managed to acquire some of the precious Barossa vineyards. They started making exceptional wines, because they invested in great & fertile vineyards, such as, Hillside Vineyard at Lyndoch, Laird Vineyard at Marananga and Schultz Family’s Greenock Keller Vineyard. By 2008, the estate had its own winery and bottling line. By 2017, Torbreck had grown so big that its cellar door got transformed into an international guest centre. Currently, this centre welcomes wine lovers from across the world.

One of the highlights to watch out for at Torbreck is the 225l oak barriques, used for maturing the grapes at the Laird Vineyard. These barriques are so unique that they are regarded as one of the finest in the world. These were handcrafted by expert French winemaker, Dominique Laurent.
