Wines By St Hallett

Blackwell is sourced exclusively from sloped vineyards around the north and west of Barossa Valley, subregions which yield small harvests of exceptionally concentrated Shiraz grapes. The focus is on retaining freshness and purity of these extraordinarily intense, dark fruit expressions while retaining perfect tannin balance in the finished wines. The northern hamlets of Kalimna and Ebenezer contribute juicy dark fruit and rich mocha flavours, while parcels from western districts such as Seppeltsfield give Blackwell it's muscular, brooding structure.

Established 1944 at the very heart of Barossa Valley, the St Hallett wineworks, one of the region's most formidable labels, attracts fruit from the most distinguished growers in the ancient winegrowing hamlets of Kalimna and Ebenezer, Krondorf and Gomersal, Seppeltsfield and Marananga. Shiraz is picked at full ripeness to capture concentration of flavour, vibrant tannin structure and a dense, inky colour. The choice of vineyards contriutes greatly to the personality of Blackwell, a splendid red wine of power and brooding density, big and bold, dominated by it's fruit yet beautifully supported by the smoothest tannins and gentle infusions of understated oak.


Garnet red colour gives rise to an expectation of concentration and power. The colour and bouquet speak volumes about the palate, the bouquet is pure opulence expressing the intensity and inky density of the wine. The palate unleashes dense, rich, dark chocolate and a powerful array of dark blackberry fruits flavours.

Vinification is kept simple, minimise any interventions but give the wine plenty of attention. The focus is on retaining freshness and purity of intense dark fruit expressions while managing the tannin balance of the intensely flavoured grapes. Components are treated to skin contact for a period of nine or twelve days with a pumpover regime tailored to each individual vineyard. Post pressing the wines spend twenty four hours in tank before transfer to oak for malolactic. Every barrel is matched to a specific batch of wine to promote harmony and balance whilst maturing. The program is typically American oak dominant for the richest parcels. All barrels are assessed before assembling into the final wine. Alcohol 14.5%

Shiraz is sourced from some of the finest Barossa vineyards, sited to superior appellations such as Lyndoch in the south and Koonunga to the north. Grapes are harvested during the warmth of day, brought to the winery, crushed into fermenters and inoculated with neutral strains of yeast. Following a regime of four pumpovers daily, some of the parcels undergo malolactic in oak, whilst others remain in tank. The wines are lightly racked, taking the fluffier lees which add weight, texture and savouryness. Following completion of malolactic, wines are assembled and treated to sixteen months maturation in a selection of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. Alcohol 14.5%

Fruit must meet strict standards of sugar/acid ripeness and flavour development. Shiraz is harvested during the warmth of the day, brought to the winery, immediately crushed into fermenters and inoculated with a neutral yeast. Fermentation occurs over a six to eight day period at 22ºC to 24ºC. A regime of four pump overs per twenty four hours allows the colour, flavour and tannins to be gently extracted from the skins, adding to the overall complexity of the finished wine. Upon completion of primary ferments, the wine is drained, pressed and seeded with bacteria for malolactic. Gamekeeper is aged in a combination of new, one, two and three year old French and American oak barrels.

Vibrant plum red with purple hues, a visually exciting example of a youthful Shiraz. Inviting bouquets of complex fruits, lightly spiced oak with splendid scents of pepper and liquorice, strawberries, fig and fully ripe raspberry, plum sauce with soy over eucalypt. The style is all about lush, juicy plum and cherry flavours over a dark chocolate, blackberry and vanilla framework, to create a full bodied but soft rolling Barossa Shiraz experience. Don't be shy with food matching, of course a great steak will be fantastic, but anything char grilled and full flavoured works. Enjoy while young, fresh and vibrant, whatever the occasion, you're sure to love drinking Gamekeeper nearly as much as St Hallett enjoys making it.

St Hallett Old Block Shiraz 2009

Barossa Eden

An exclusive Shiraz wine articulating the concordance between the Barossa and Eden Valleys, derived from low yielding vines up to a hundred years of age. The meticulous nurture and respect for these Old Vines demands that parcels are culled throughout the winemaking, from pruning in the vineyard until the final stage of sampling the ageing stocks, to determine the best barrels. Old sites in the warm nether parts of the Barossa establish the rich foundation, whilst higher, cooler aspects of the Eden Valley contribute lifted aromatics and seamless tannins.

Each parcel is crushed into a fermenter and inoculated by select cultures. Each batch is vinified separately at controlled temperatures of 20°C to 24°C. Ferments are managed with pumpovers and drain returns to aerate as much as possible during the early stages, enhancing colour, flavour and tannin extraction. Parcels are pressed off skins into oak before beeing seeded with malolactic, a bacterial culture which converts natural malic acid to lactic acid, softening and stabilising the wine microbiologically. Each parcel is then assigned the most suitable choice of new to three year old French oaks. After twenty months maturation, barrels are sampled to determine the final assemblage.

Deep crimson red colour. Powerful lifted aromas of dark chocolate and mocha are intertwined with a soft, underlying dark berry fragrance. The palate oozes classic Old Block characters, swirling the wine in the glass gives that sense of comfort as the enormous brooding complexity edifies, like the sink and relax sensation one receives from settling into a cushioned winged lounge. Rich dark fruits, blackcurrant and boysenberry with smooth chocolate textures, sensual tannins and a persistence of flavour, elegantly entwined with the underlying Eden Valley Shiraz eucalypt character and fine tannins. Decant for at least two to three hours before serving alongside venison or game.

St Hallett Poachers Blend 2012

Barossa + Eden

Available by the case dozen only

Poacher's Blend embraces a spectrum of aromatics, from the fresh, tropical fruit of Sauvignon Blanc to the greener mineral of Semillon. Importantly, Semillon is picked at three different ripeness levels. The younger Semillon brings natural acidity, a moderately riper component proffers herbaceousness, the fully ripe adds mouthfeel and richer grapefruit citrus elements. Sauvignon Blanc is picked relatively early to retain the gooseberry lift, importantly the Riesling component contributes backbone and floral lime citrus characters.

To maintain consistency, grapes are sourced from various sites throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys, contributions of fruit from nearly all of St Hallett's growers. The aim is to preserve the fresh varietal characters by gentle handling, minimal intervention and by keeping the fruit and juices as pristine as possible. Each batch is fermented separately at cool temperatures to retain the vital expressions of the vineyard. Poacher's Blend is finished with a certain level of phenolic textural element, or tannins, to lift the fruit flavours and give the wine a backbone with the capacity to develop. Vinified immediately after harvesting and bottled soon after vintage.

Pale yellow with a subtle green hue. The nose is brimming full of tropical fruit aromas, passionfruit and melon, pineapple with underlying lime and grassy aromas. Full flavoured and generous, the palate exhibits an array of flavours which persist over the whole length of palate, finishing with a twist of lime. The slightly phenolic backbone provides structure and mouthfeel, balanced by crisp acidity. Poachers Blend marries well with freshwater crustaceans and poached (purloined) fish.

Experience and Evolution ...

Evolution in the pursuit of excellence has been a consistent thread running through St Halletts history resulting in benchmark wines, recognised around the world as quintessential Barossa. As one of the founding wineries of the region and in the strength, warmth and honesty of its wines, St Hallett has come to be regarded as quintessential Barossa.

In the heart of the Barossa Valley, Australia's best known wine region, lies St Hallett, one of the country's premier wine producers. Established by the Lindner Family in 1944, for many years St Halletts winemaking focus was, like many local wineries, on producing fortified wines. However during the seventies and eighties St Hallett turned to explore the true potential of the Barossa through premium table wines. This has resulted in St Hallett?s elevation as one of Australia?s best producers.


St Hallett is renowned for crafting full-flavored, textured wines entirely from Barossa Valley fruit and is credited with producing benchmark wines of the region such as the iconic St Hallett Old Block Shiraz, made from vines aged up to 100 years old. St Hallett's rich heritage and ongoing commitment to Barossa Shiraz is now underpinned by extensive experience and a continuous sense of evolution, attributes personified in winemakers Stuart Blackwell and Matt Gant. Winemaker and General Manager, Stuart Blackwell spearheaded the commissioning of the new winemaking facilities in 1988 and the installation of some of the world's most advanced fruit processing and handling equipment. Despite this modern approach, traditional winemaking techniques prevail at St Hallett as best suited to the winery's classic style. St Hallett's commitment to translating the tapestry of soils and meso-climates of the Barossa in each of its wines is made possible by the rich resource of old vines, long-term relationships with growers and the winemakers intuitive understanding of the Barossa.	As Senior Winemaker for over 30 years, Stuart Blackwell has developed a deep understanding of the rich tapestry of site and climatic variances in the Barossa and an appreciation of the importance of both dedicated growers and old vine Shiraz. Strong long-term relationships with focussed and passionate growers give St Hallett access to the Barossa's most prized old vine Shiraz vineyards dating back 60 to over 100 years of age. St Hallett also partners growers to nurture Shiraz on other sites which have unique qualities and comparable long-term potential.
Taking on the reins of evolution, Winemaker Matt Gant seeks to honour this patchwork of differences in vine age, climate and site, by avidly picking and keeping separate over 200 different parcels of Shiraz each vintage. Fermentation and most particularly maturation are then meticulously tailored to suit each parcel. The diversity of these parcels allows the team to constantly evolve and adapt techniques not only from vintage to vintage but also parcel by parcel and is ultimately critical to the complexity and differentiation of St Hallett's three expressions of Barossa Shiraz, Faith, Blackwell and Old Block.
