The label celebrates the Lindner who founded St Hallett in 1944…along with a butchery. Fruit comes from vineyards located in the northern part of the Barossa Valley. Serious and dense nose: packed with warm coffee grounds and mocha, fresh turned earth, vanilla bean paste, blackberry and bramble melange, smoked meats, cherry cola and studded with peppercorns. The palate offers plenty of those dense dark fruits supported well with the sweetness of oak. Tannins are soft yet drying to support a good length of flavour. Square shouldered and full bodied, like those hard-working families that made the Barossa: evoking calloused hands and dedication.
