A creation of Australian stalwart David Powell, Torbreck winery has grown to become one of the Barossa region's most prestigious wineries. It began in 1994 when Powell steeped the first Torbreck vintage on his 12-hectare parcel of land in Marananga. Since then, the operators at Torbreck have become caretakers of several vineyards in Barossa and work with independent wine-growers all across the region.
The Struie is named after a hilltop in the Scottish highlands, a place where Powell formerly worked as a lumberjack. It is made from 100% Shiraz/Syrah and is the perfect choice for those who want to discover why the Barossa region is so widely renowned.
Showcasing lifted aromas of black fruits, chocolate and a notable, graphite-like minerality, The Struie is crafted from grapes grown in elevated vineyards across Eden and Barossa Valley. Plum, blackcurrant and blueberry all contribute to its concentrated flavour. As the wine opens up, hints of chocolate, violet and spice appear, marrying harmoniously on the palate. The Struie was aged in French oak for 20 months, and its supple tannins will support years of potential cellaring. Combine it with a herby rack of lamb, a wine-based stew, or a hard cheese.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
