About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaThe wine was first released in 1994, in honour of Stuart Blackwell, winemaker for more than three decades and a tireless contributor to the St Hallett story. The fruit is sourced predominately from the Northern Barossa with the red brown clay soils creating wines with great concentration and depth. Cacao nib, berry tart and almondy frangipane lift from the glass highlighted with vanilla extract. Powerful and sweet black plum and cherry glide across the palate with chocolate, vanilla bean and an array of dried spices. The richness of the wine is profound but balanced by dense tannins and silk like smoothness to finish, carrying the fruit and spice long after the wine is consumed.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

St Hallett’s Blackwell Shiraz - one of several elite Shiraz expressions under the brand - takes its fruit from mature vines in the northern districts of the Barossa Valley, celebrating its reputed and recognised intense, dark Shiraz characters, here entwined with backdrop suggestions of rosemary and sage before diving even more deeply into black cherry driven palate characters and sensitively matched tannin threads in the finish. A wine with both regional and varietal gravitas as well as genuine sensory pleasures.
