Wine Advocate, 92+ Points 

"My god. Stylistically, there is a chasm between the reds and whites at Torbreck. The 2021 The Steading Blanc is pristine (the reds are also pristine; however, the abundant tannin and concentrated fruit require different descriptors), with moderate alcohol and bright acidity laced throughout. Salted pineapple lumps, honeydew melon, white flowers, summer apricot and green apples define the fruit in the mouth, while the wine is shaped by fine but firm phenolics through the finish. This is not hedonistic but textbook. Lovely." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Fragrant aromas of white flowers, summer stone fruits, kaffir lime and guava, balanced with underlying hints of bees wax and spices such as turmeric and ginger. Medium bodied with mid palate texture to the opulent fruit, and a lively line of acid along a long, spicy and mineral strewn finish." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
