Each year, St Hallett walk the tightrope of flavour expression as they endeavour to capture all the rich and robust, concentrated dark berry flavours without falling into the abyss of overipe jammy and stewy characters. The keys to this balance are site selection and time of picking. Shiraz is sourced exclusively from the north and western slopes of Barossa. Parcels from the distinguished districts of Seppeltsfield and Marananga, Greenock and Ebenezer are picked off particularly low yielding vineyards which grow grapes endowed with intense flavours.
Fruit is sourced from mature, dry grown vines, some over eighty years of age, distinguished old Barossa sites which yield relatively small parcels of intense and flavoursome Shiraz. Each parcel is individually matched to one of a selection of American oak barrels in which the wine spends two years maturing and developing considerable texture, power and complexity before bottling. The fruit is picked at full ripeness to capture concentration of flavour, vibrant tannin structure and a dense, inky colour. These choice vineyard sites all contriute to the personality of St Hallett Blackwell, a splendid red wine of power and brooding density, big and bold, dominated by it's fruit but nicely supported by understated oak.
TASTING NOTES
Dense, inky dark red colour with purple hues. Intense layers of ripe raspberry and blackberry aromas with licorice and vanilla orchid afterthoughts. The opening act is all about intense, full bodied black forest cake flavours with sof ttexture. This opening integrates seamlessly with a pleasing grainy, chocolate like mouthfeel and some anise and mocha characters at the finale. It evokes an image and feeling of wrapping oneself in the big purple velvet curtain at the State theatre.
