Chateau Puech-Haut Tete de Belier Blanc 2023
'Nestled between the shores of the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Cévennes, the Puech-Haut estate extends over more than one hundred and fifty hectares. The castle was built there with good reason: an ideal climate, passionate men and land covered with pudding stones (galets), made famous in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Through wine, the personalities and the richness of an entire region are also expressed and shared. Thus, the wines of Château Puech-Haut are all steeped in history and endowed with a singular identity and a strong character. The history of Château Puech-Haut is closely linked to that of its founder, Gérard Bru. A man who, after a successful industrial career, decided to leave everything behind to reconnect with his roots: The land of Languedoc. This region of southern France was already full of history for Gérard. It was on this land that he was introduced to vineyards by his grandfather. And it is also here that his father worked as intendant of the National School of Agronomy of Montpellier. It was there, at the time just scrubland and wild olive groves, that he built his dream.'
Torbreck Vintners, The Steading Blanc 2021
Torbreck's 2021 Steading Blanc is a brilliant example of just how good white Rhône blends can be when grown in the Barossa valley. Made from Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, it’s a beautifully textured, expressive wine that balances richness with real freshness. On the nose, you’ll find ripe stone fruits, citrus peel, white flowers, and a hint of spice. The palate follows through with generous flavour, creamy texture, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. It’s layered and food-friendly, but not heavy - think roast chicken, seafood in buttery sauces, or even mildly spiced dishes. The Steading is sourced entirely from the Estate's Descendant Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road. Torbreck is best known for their bold reds but this white is a bit of a standout: elegant, versatile, and quietly complex.
