Winemaker Notes

Lifted aromas of red currant, pomegranate, red cherry and red plum. The secondary aromas of spice and earthy, such as clove, star anise, bay leaf and wild thyme add complexity. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a dense core of plush red-berried fruits whilst leaning towards the savory side. Firm tannins envelope the mouth and provide depth and a plushness with an elongated finish. The 2021 Steading is indicative of the harvest from low yielding old bush vines hat produced high quality wines.

Pair with game meats poultry or Chinese roast pork.

Blend: 51% Grenache, 28% Shiraz, 21% Mataro

Professional Ratings

95Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 The Steading is incredibly sweet on the nose: summer raspberries, blood plums, black cherry, licorice, star anise, some cardamom and chewing tobacco. This offers insane value for money, at around $40AUD, but then, I feel like it has been that price for at least a decade, so it has been an insane value for a long time. This is reliable, delicious, complex, plush/generous and, through the lens of this lovely cool vintage, a superstar. The best yet.
94James Suckling

I like the tannin tension to this with berry, dried meat and spice aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with a firmness and brightness. Juicy finish. Nice texture at the end. Vivid. Grenache, shiraz and mataro.

Aromatic and layered, this plump GSM offers oodles of currant and blackberry fruit alongside peppercorn and spicy beef-jerky notes. It’s full bodied and fruity with silky texture, lovely freshness and powerful tannins. Approachable now with an autumnal meal, this should cellar nicely over the next several years
