ST HALLETT WINES - Tastings from 2.00pm
St Hallett focusses on crafting full-flavoured, textured wines entirley from Barossa fruit.
An accessible fruit driven wine.
Click to enlarge St Hallett is a Barossa producer renowned for their luscious shiraz. Last year they took out two trophies in the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge for their St Hallett Gamekeepers Shiraz Cabernet 2008.
Their success is made possible by a rich resource of wonderful old vines, long-term relationships with growers and the winemakers’ experience and intimate approach to each individual parcel of fruit from the vineyard, through the winery to the final wine.
The St Hallett team focus on getting the most out of the aged vines and exploring the subregional differences by picking and keeping separate over 200 different parcels of Shiraz each vintage. This unrivalled dedication to guarding the integrity of individual parcels is in order to meticulously tailor fermentation and maturation to each. The diversity of these parcels allows the team to constantly evolve and adapt techniques not only from vintage to vintage but also parcel by parcel and is ultimately critical to the complexity and differentiation of St Hallett’s three expressions of Barossa Shiraz: ‘Faith’, ‘Blackwell’ and ‘Old Block’.
St Hallett is equally reputed for its Riesling from the Eden Valley for which it has won six trophies over the past three vintages while its sibling blends – Poacher’s Blend and Gamekeeper’s Reserve are consistently acclaimed Barossa favourites.
Evolution and innovation, in the pursuit of excellence have proved a consistent thread running through St Hallett’s history. Proudly Barossan, St Hallett makes wines which are recognised around the world as benchmarks of the region.
