The 2013 Steading has a vibrant, purity of fruit, mid palate concentration and tannin profile making it an exemplary wine. Barossa cultivars of old vine Grenache, Shiraz & Mataro. Vibrant aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and star anise all unfold to reveal an impressive array of underlying fruit flavours. Dense, succulent dark fruits with layers of licorice, plum, black olive, earth, white pepper and Asian spice. These complex yet elegant flavours are all neatly interwoven with a perfect balance of acidity and supple, silky tannins. The 2013 Steading will continue to develop with time in the cellar & shall provide those with patience, great enjoyment for many years to come.
A blend of grenache, mataro and shiraz. Predictably complex and mouthfilling; the grenache has been overwhelmed by the impact of the mataro and shiraz, licorice, tar and earth coming to the fore, coupled with tannins and alcohol. Give it time.
