2023 The Steading Blanc, Torbreck, Barossa Valley
This is mainly Roussanne and Marsanne, with the Viognier dialled back in recent vintages to provide just enough aromatic intensity and viscocity, without dominating. Full of ripe peach and apricot, with a pithy feel to the texture, and a core of more juicy fruit. The fruit character is just sweet enough to carry it through a long finish with more pithy, savoury notes. Don't make the mistake of ignoring the brilliant white wines from Torbreck.
