St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz, Barossa

The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the northwest of the Barossa Valley at relatively high elevations between 250 metres and 310 metres above sea level. Each individual parcel is fashioned separately, employing years of accumulated knowledge of these vineyards and their individual characters. Once the ferment wine is judged to have achieved balance, it is pressed off the skins and goes directly to barrel. The barrel age and the cooperage it comes from is selected for each parcel; this provides complexity and balance in the finished blend. Shows powerful aromas of blackberry, cocoa and nutmeg; the palate is opulent and full-bodied with black forest gateau flavours and an intense long finish.
