Tasting Notes:

Lifted aromas of Blueberry, mulberry, blackberry and African violet leap from the glass and meld effortlessly with graphite, sandalwood and dark cocoa chocolate. On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with black and blue fruits and soft round tannins. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel without any harshness or bitterness. A true pleasure that will reward for twenty years but probably best in the first ten. Ready from 2024. Serve at 16C with Texas bbq rib, chimichurri quail or Chinese mapo tofu.

Technical:

The 2022 vintage was characterised by above average winter rains making up for a dry autumn, leading to full canopies and healthy vines for the harvest. A severe hail storm across some parts of the Valley in late October resulted in lower average yields. The summer was remarkably mild with very few days above 30 degrees. Slow ripening in the cooler conditions made for a gentle and drawn out vintage season, resulting in wines with higher natural acidity, rich colours and fine tannins. The wines from 2022 will reward those patient enough to cellar them away.


Accolades & Awards:

96 Point Rated - Ned Goodwin MW For James Suckling

"Some new oak here, as the material creeps into the older vine zone (60-70 years). Molten aromas of blueberries, lilacs, apricots and iodine, as if there was some viognier in the mix, so lifted and floral is the nose. Typical Eden-valley lift. Full-bodied yet taut, refined and prodigiously long. If refinement is a construct in a region known for power, this is among the most refined wines of the region. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.”


96 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"The 2022 The Struie is composed of 79% Barossa Valley and 21% Eden Valley fruit. It is impenetrably dense in the glass and aromatic and rich in the mouth. It's totally concentrated with impressive flavor penetration on the palate. This is an epic wine, as usual, and at $55 AUD, it represents sensational premium Barossa Shiraz drinking. It's all velvet and volume, with detail and varietal definition. It could only come from one place on the planet, as it speaks as much to its red dirt origins as it does to the variety, Shiraz. 15% alcohol, sealed under cork and wax."


95 Point Rated - David Sly Decanter

"A heady bowl of ripe, dark red berries defines the perfume and loads up a sweet, powerful entry point to this surprisingly nimble wine. Forget what the alcohol reading says, this sits comfortably with all its components in easy balance – a rich roll of blueberry, blackberry and dark red plum flavours, a lick of oak to instil firm structure, a clean acid line to keep the flavours bright through an especially long mid-plate journey, and the snap of clean, tight tannins to define a sharp finish. Watch it bloom in the cellar."


94 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"Seed spices, dried plums and dried meat to sniff, complex and appealingly savoury. Dark chocolate in the background. The palate is focused and deep, with good concentration as well as softness and approachability, in spite of its obvious cellar potential."


94 Point Rated - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion 

"The Struie is Torbreck's blend of shiraz from vineyards in the Barossa and Eden valleys. Deep cassis and doris plum fruit tones with perhaps a little more blue fruits compared to the 2021 release. Hints of baking spices, sage, mace, bay leaf, roasting meats, panforte, pastis and dark chocolate. The trademark Torbreck fruit depth and concentration is certainly in play with tight, fine sandy tannins and a sense of freshness to its travel, finishing lush and long."
