The palate is full-bodied with a velvety texture, ultra-fine tannins and flavours of mulberries, mint, pomegranates, cured meat and dark chocolate. A silken finish for this excellent release from a cool vintage.

Individual parcels are picked in multiple stages for optimal ripeness, then de-stemmed into wooden and concrete open-top fermenters for gentle extraction before basket pressing. The wine settles naturally in underground cement vats before being transferred to French oak barriques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgeing spans 18–20 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak. The 2023 vintage brought above-average winter and spring rainfall and a cooler summer, resulting in later harvesting, low yields and fruit showing brightness, freshness and higher natural acidity. Producer notes highlight lifted aromatics, dense texture and tannins that support long-term structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Torrbreck is the name of a forest near Inverness, Scotland. The name Struie comes from a 157 metre high mountain overlooking the forest. The view across the Dornoch Firth from the Struie is as inspiring as that of the Valley floor from Eden Valley.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrape Variety: 100% Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Barossa Valley \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSub-regions: 76% Barossa Valley, 24% Eden Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVine Age: Average 50 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest: 3 April – 9 May 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation: Wooden and concrete open-top fermenters; basket pressed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturation: 18–20 months in new and seasoned French oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak Type: French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturation Attributes: Oaked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2025–2038\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwnership: Jack Cowin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle Size: 6000ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736095617387,"sku":"SK26688483","price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/TorbreckTheStruieBarossaShirazImperial6000ml.png?v=1780390039","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2023-torbreck-the-struie-barossa-shiraz-imperial-6000ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
