The Struie is a cleverly thought out blend of fruit from 44-year-old Eden Valley and 80-year-old Barossa vines.

The higher altitude Eden vines gives the wine its European cool-climate elegance, while the Barossa fruit brings power and intensity to this wine. This great marriage has made the Struie a boutique cult wine.

(Torbreck is named after a forest in Scotland where David Powell worked as a lumberjack.)

“An exotic bouquet of blackberries and other sweet fruits is followed by a full-bodied, powerful, rich red with great purity as well as focus, a laser-like precision, huge intensity, and a blockbuster finish that lasts nearly a minute. It will be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age, and should last for two decades.” eRobertParker.com

“Good colour; bursting with layers of juicy, sweet, blackberry, plum, cherry and dark chocolate fruit flavours; oak and tannins just a backdrop.” James Halliday
