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.
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. Drink or hold.
Wonderfully dense, with notes of toasted chestnut, bittersweet chocolate, spiced plum and fleshy black cherry, plus details of cardamom, tobacco and fresh-cracked black pepper. Delivers dense tannins that firm up on the finish but never get in the way of the flavors. Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Drink now. 5,000 cases made, 385 cases imported.
