Torbreck The Steading Blanc 2021 White Wine WA92+ Rated

Torbreck 2021 The Steading Blanc
A refined expression from Barossa Valley’s iconic winemaker, this 2021 Blanc masterfully combines 50% Roussanne’s citrus backbone with Marsanne’s creamy texture (43%) and Viognier’s floral lift (7%). Critically acclaimed with Wine Advocate’s 92+ rating, it balances precision and accessibility for oenophiles and casual drinkers alike.

Aromas & Flavors
The bouquet bursts with kaffir lime zest and tropical guava interwoven with beeswax sweetness and warm spice notes of turmeric and ginger. On the palate, ripe stone fruits—think sun-ripened apricots and honeydew—unfold against a crisp acidity backbone that elevates each sip.

Palate Profile
Medium-bodied with velvety texture from lees aging, this wine delivers layered fruit without heaviness. A saline minerality cuts through the opulence, leading to a long finish marked by dried herbs and flinty undertones—a hallmark of Torbreck’s meticulous craftsmanship.

Why Choose This?
At 12.5% ABV, it offers refreshing complexity ideal for warm-weather enjoyment or pairing with grilled seafood and poultry dishes. Unlike many Australian whites dominated by oak or overt sweetness, The Steading Blanc prioritizes balance—crisp acidity meets textural richness without compromise.
