St Hallett Old Block Shiraz 2013

Throughout the 70 year history of St Hallett in the Barossa with a keen focus on the regions most famous grape; Shiraz, they've maintained a philosophy of ‘do it once, do it right.' That way of thinking seems to have worked as the lineup of wines produced are to be commended, from entry levels to their flagship Old Block Shiraz, which incidentally is one of the regions finest and highly regarded wines.

The winery and facilities of St Hallett are located in just south of Tanunda, located between the Para River and surrounding vineyards. Fruit is sourced from all over the Barossa Valley and neighboring Eden Valley. Their relationships with growers throughout Seppeltsfield, Greenock, Moppa, Ebenezer, Lightpass and so many more subregions means that they have access to parcels of fruit from all aspects of the valley.

The intricacies of the Barossa and Eden valley subregions means that blending and fruit selection is key to the operation. Vines up to 100 years old are used in their wines, which impart a opulence, depth and concentration that producers in cooler regions around the world can only dream of.
