I’ve tried most of the Torbreck Cuvées but the Kyloe Mataro (aka Mourvèdre, aka Monastrell) is a rare bird. Notes of tar and bitumen also peppercorn and meat. On the full bodied palate sweet dark plum and pepper. Sweet and savoury. An excellent winter red. Amazingly cheap at only $26 AUD when I bought it in 2019. I haven’t seen it since and not sure if it is still part of the Torbreck stable. — a month ago

The Roussanne was aged in stainless steel, while the Marsanne and Viognier aged on the fine lees for 8 months in a combination of seasoned and new French oak barriques.

Inspired by the rich, luscious and mineral scented dry whites of the Rhône Valley, The Steading - Blanc is sourced entirely from the Descendant Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road first planted in 1994 on the Torbreck estate. The ripe, fleshy, barrel fermented Viognier and Marsanne gives the palate a textural edge whilst the Roussanne contributes it’s more flinty and austere personality." - WINERY NOTES — 6 months ago

Not up there with Torbreck, but still a worthwhile purchase.

The single vineyard wines begin with the 2007 Shiraz Barney s Block McMurtrie Road in McLaren Vale. It was aged in 50% new French oak for 20 months. Opaque purple-colored, — 3 years ago

A Barossa GSM. Took a while to balance out, but with some air the wine showed its elegance. I also learned that Mataro is the Spanish/Aussie name for mouvedre. 😎 🇦🇺 Bright Grenache in the foreground with a peppery undertone. Smooth and silky. Mellow tannins. — 5 months ago

Pedigreed and fresh. Mature but room to go. Blue fruit, some smoke and saline. High-wire balancing act. — 5 months ago
