Like the Cuvée Juvenile Blanc, this 2022 The Steading Blanc is Roussanne-led (50%), followed by Marsanne (43%) and Viognier (7%). While the Roussanne went straight to tank (i.e., no oak), the Marsanne and Viognier were fermented and matured in seasoned French oak. That is undoubtedly what brings the softness to the middle palate, while the Roussanne contributes white flowers and chalk to the perimeters. There is also green apple (skin), loquat, lychee, white plum and nashi pear. This is lovely, complex, plush and laden with white pepper through the finish. The phenolics have a firmness to them, very attractive in a white wine.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Torbreck's The Steading Blanc is a distinguished white blend from South Australia's renowned Barossa Valley, crafted from Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, three classic Rhône varieties that thrive in this legendary region. This wine exemplifies Torbreck's commitment to Old World winemaking traditions combined with the distinctive terroir of Barossa, delivering a complex, medium-bodied white with layers of green and tropical fruit character.
The Steading represents the estate's philosophy of balancing power with elegance. The blend's peppery notes and subtle chalky minerality create a sophisticated profile that rewards careful cellaring while remaining approachable in its youth. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, white fish, and poultry, and complements richer preparations featuring cream, mushroom risotto, and aromatic spices. It's equally at home with soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
Ideal for discerning collectors and those seeking premium Australian whites, The Steading Blanc showcases why Torbreck remains one of Barossa Valley's most respected producers. Whether enjoyed in a villa, yacht, or at fine dining establishments, this wine delivers exceptional quality and food-friendly versatility.
