St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2020

Many wine legends have had their imprint on the cellar and have helped shape the modern St Hallett, but none more critical than Stuart Blackwell. Stuart started at St Hallett in 1972 and ensuring integrity and a steadfast commitment to the region, has steered St Hallett to become a jewel in the crown of the Barossa. The Blackwell Shiraz was first released in 1994, in Stuart’s honour and his tireless contribution to the St Hallett story.

A classic Barossa Shiraz which can be savoured now and will continue to build complexity whilst carefully cellared. Fruit for the Blackwell Shiraz is sourced predominately from Northern Barossa from vineyards in the parishes of Ebenezer, Greenock and Moppa Hills.

Dark red colour with purple hues. An expressive bouquet brimming with layers of blackberry tart, black cherry, cacao nibs and sweet spice providing an aromatic lift. Full bodied and complex on the palate, expressing layers of concentrated blood plum and black cherry, combined with undertones of cocoa, nutmeg and vanilla bean all culminating in a harmonious structure of dense savoury tannins. A balanced wine with a certain vitality that will allow it to age gracefully over many years.
