St Hallett Old Block Shiraz 2021

One of the Barossa’s perennially great Shiraz ambassadors, as the name suggests regularly sourced from old vines with a minimum of 40 years under their belt. In this 2021 vintage, that average age is actually 100 years, coming from 54% Barossa Valley and 46% Eden Valley blocks. There’s a genuine rural village vibe in the nose, flint and blacksmithy edges – in a good way – still allowing naturally sweet darker plum and berry fruit flavours to swell and entertain the palate. Oak maturation offers a dark spice and charcoal note, creating a distinctive, complex and expertly balanced Barossa Shiraz.
