Blended of 77% Grenache, 15% Mataro and 8% Shiraz, the 2014 The Steading has a pale to medium garnet color and gives relatively understated dried mulberry, preserved plums and Chinese five spice notes with hints of black pepper, earth and dried herbs. Full-bodied, with plenty of spicy expressiveness to match the dried berry and earthy flavors, it is rich and supple with a long pepper-laced finish.

Plump and juicy, with wild blackberry and blueberry flavors that have plenty of spice and espresso accents. Tobacco and black chocolate flavors linger against a thick, velvety mouthful. Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz. Drink now through 2030. 650 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add
