Tasting Notes

An acknowledged icon of the Barossa, St Hallett Old Block is an elegant and seamless Shiraz widely recognised as world class.

Powerful lifted aromas of dark chocolate and mocha are intertwined with a soft, underlying dark berry fragance. The palate shows a restrained elegance and persistence with textured, seamless tannins.

Vinification Details.

Hand picked grapes from low yielding Shiraz vines were fermented at 20-24C in stainless steel fermenters with adequate regime of pump overs and 'drain and returns'. The wine was then aged for 20 months in a combination of new to 3 year old French oak barrels.

Producer Information

This great Barossa winery goes from strength to strength. Toby Barlow, fresh from his stunning successes at Mitchelton in Victoria, has taken over where Matt Gant left off, and ensures that St Hallett remains one of the most forward looking wineries in Australia. It isn't just Shiraz that rocks their world, and the Poacher's Blend white (the first vintage was made from grapes 'stolen' in lieu of an unpaid bill!) is as racy and fresh as anything in Australia.


Regional info.

Derived purely from low cropping old vines of 60 to over 100 years of age, Old Block Shiraz is by its very nature exclusive.

Old Block Shiraz showcases the harmony to be found between Barossa's two valley sub-regions. Unique sites in the warmer Barossa Valley contribute a rich foundation while the adjacent higher altitude and cooler Eden Valley confers texture, seamless mineral structure and an elegant floral vitality.
