St Hallett “Old Block” Shiraz 2019

Established by the Lindner family in 1944, St Hallett has established themselves as the Masters of Barossa Shiraz, and one of the most admired Australian wine brands. With roots firmly planted in the rich Barossa soils, St Hallett continue the legacy of crafting exceptional wines from a tapestry of vineyards throughout Barossa Valley and Eden Valley that showcase the geological, geographical and climatic diversity of the region.

‘Originally from the St Hallett Old Block vineyard, this wine was first made by Robert O’Callaghan and Stuart Blackwell in 1980. To qualify for Old Block Shiraz, the vineyards must be planted on their own rootstock and be more than 50 years old. The oldest vineyard used to create the 2019 Old Block was planted in 1870 whilst the youngest 1936, with an
average of close to 100 years’ –  Helen McCarthy, Chief Winemaker.
