About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazFirst produced in 1980, St Hallett Old Block is made from the best available Old Vine Shiraz from both the Barossa and Eden Valleys. 2016 Old Block is an elegant, seamless fullbodied wine complete with a silky palate and immaculate oak.
Layers of dark cherry, blackberries, anise and white pepper slowly unfolds across the palate. The acid and tannin are in perfect balance which is reflected in the wine cellaring potential.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

92yo vines, hand-picked, tank and open fermenters, 10 days on skins, matured in French hogsheads and puncheons (25% new) for 18 months. As magnificently rich and deeply flavoured as expected. Blackberry and blackcurrant, then a move to liquorice, onto cedary oak and supple tannin providing texture and structure.
